Weez

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to black, opaque and densely colored at SRM 8. The head is compact and tan-brown, with pronounced Schaumhaftung that clings to the glass walls as the beer recedes. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft visual texture.

◌ Aroma

Roasted coffee and baker's chocolate anchor the nose, followed by toffee sweetness and a subtle tobacco leaf undertone. Noble hop character emerges as the beer warms—light pine resin, bright lemon zest, and grapefruit citrus layer over the dark malt foundation. A whisper of black cherry adds depth without sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with roasted malt and cocoa intensity, transitioning to a balanced mid-palate where citrus and pine from Cascade, Citra, and Simcoe hops cut cleanly through toffee notes. The 35 IBU bitterness is restrained but present, finishing dry with lingering dark-roast coffee and a faint cherry note. Flaked oats lend a soft, rounded body despite the dark malt bill.

◑ Finish

Moderately long and clean, with coffee and cocoa fading gradually into a peppery pine dryness. The aftertaste remains refreshing and free of cloying sweetness, inviting another sip.
