Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Jaira Negra
◎ Appearance
Deep brown to black in the glass with a dense, compact head that displays solid retention and lacing. The beer presents full opacity; carbonation is moderate and appears well-integrated. The visual profile is characteristic of a traditional dark lager—substantial yet refined.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with pronounced roasted malt character, offering notes of cocoa, bread crust, and a subtle earthiness. Mild noble hop aromatics provide gentle balance without dominating. The overall profile is clean and composed, free from off-notes or fermentation artifacts.
◐ Taste
The palate enters with roasted grain and chocolate sweetness that builds through the mid-palate before transitioning to a subtle toasted dryness. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, integrated rather than confrontational, allowing the malt complexity to remain the focal point. Body is smooth and rounded without heaviness.
◑ Finish
The finish is clean and relatively dry, with roasted notes fading gracefully into a gentle mineral minerality. Aftertaste is brief and uncluttered, leaving no sticky residue.
