Kiskale

Tap to rate

Creamy and silky from start to finish, Kiskale puts malt in charge: toffee, ripe fruit and caramel flow over a pleasantly sweet palate. It is dark mahogany in colour with a medium body and liqueur-like malt notes. The brewery calls it a brewing classic.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced toffee and caramel notes, layered beneath ripe dark fruit esters and a subtle nuttiness. Toasted malt undertones add depth, while bready grain character provides a warm, inviting foundation. Noble hop character remains restrained, allowing the malt complexity to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately smooth and creamy, with luscious caramel and toffee flavors coating the palate. The malt-forward mid-palate develops notes of dark fruit and nutty richness, while modest bitterness (35 IBU) remains well-balanced and never intrusive. Sweet malt character flows continuously, creating an almost liqueur-like drinking experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming, with lingering toffee and caramel notes fading gracefully. A subtle dryness emerges in the aftertaste, preventing any cloying sensation and inviting the next sip.
