La Noire

◎ Appearance

Jet black in the glass with minimal light transmission, revealing the beer's deep opacity. A tan head forms on the pour and maintains moderate retention, clinging to the glass walls in sparse lacing. The body sits still and dense, with fine carbonation evident only in scattered bubble chains.

◌ Aroma

Roasted barley dominates the nose with a pronounced coffee character—bitter espresso grounds and charred grain. Beneath lies a subtle earthiness with hints of cocoa powder and dark chocolate. The aromatic profile remains dry and restrained, with no sweetness or fruity notes competing.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with assertive roasted malt and bitter coffee notes that coat the tongue immediately. Mid-palate reveals a smooth, creamy mouthfeel that softens the initial bitterness, with traces of dark chocolate and grain earthiness emerging. The drying effect builds steadily, leaving no residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is distinctly dry and lingering, with roasted coffee bitterness persisting for several minutes. Aftertaste remains clean and mineral-like, with fading chocolate and earthy undertones.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
