Labyrinth Black Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep black to opaque brown color with minimal light transmission. Dense, tan head forms quickly and maintains fine carbonation throughout the glass. The body appears full and substantial, with visible lacing clinging to the walls.

◌ Aroma

Assertive American hop character leads with bright grapefruit zest and resinous pine notes. Beneath sits a dark roasted malt base offering cocoa and subtle coffee undertones. The aromatic profile balances herbaceous bittering hops against toasted grain depth.

◐ Taste

Entry presents bold hop bitterness with citrus and pine hitting immediately. Mid-palate layers dark chocolate and roasted malt character, creating complexity against the lingering resin. The finish remains dry, with 60 IBU contributing a clean, sustained bitterness that accentuates the darker malt structure.

◑ Finish

Long, drying finish with persistent pine and grapefruit notes. The roasted malt base provides a final chocolate and coffee note that fades gradually.
