Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sine Metu

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, opaque and dense. A thick, creamy head builds quickly and clings to the rim with persistent Schaumkleiden. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

Pronounced roasted grain and coffee dominate the nose, supported by subtle cocoa and dark chocolate undertones. A warming note of whiskey spirit emerges softly beneath, adding complexity without overpowering the malt-forward character. The overall impression is dry and earthy.

◐ Taste

Roasted and coffee-forward on entry, developing into a smooth, almost creamy mid-palate with gentle chocolate notes. Moderate bitterness—40 IBU—arrives cleanly without harshness. The whiskey integration manifests as a subtle boozy warmth rather than overt spirit bite, lending structure and body.

◑ Finish

Dry finish with lasting roast and coffee character. The whiskey contributes a lingering warmth that extends the aftertaste without becoming hot or astringent.

Serve at 10–14°C

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

Pint glass

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

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
