Ambar Trufada

Spain·Spiced Beer
Tap to rate

Ambar Trufada belongs to the Ambiciosas series and is brewed with black truffle from Aragon, gathered in Sarrión in Teruel, on the slopes of the Moncayo and in Jacetania. The barley is floor-malted by the classic method, and the truffle is extracted over a seven-month maceration. A Zaragoza beer built around the earth it comes from.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with earthy minerality characteristic of black truffle, supported by warm spice notes that suggest white pepper and subtle herbaceous undertones. Beneath these distinctive adjunct qualities lies a malty foundation of toasted grain and light caramel sweetness, creating a complex and grounded bouquet that speaks directly to the terroir of Aragon.

◐ Taste

Entry is rich and full-bodied with pronounced earthy notes that carry through the mid-palate alongside a gentle spice framework. The floor-malted barley provides a soft malt backbone with subtle caramel notes, while the seven-month truffle maceration contributes an underlying umami depth. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the earthy and spiced character to dominate without sharp edges.
