Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Monolith
◎ Appearance
Monolith presents a deep amber-mahogany hue, burnished by three years in oak and wild fermentation. The pour reveals excellent clarity beneath a delicate off-white head that maintains a fine Schaumkleiden around the glass. Carbonation is gentle and restrained, befitting a contemplative farmhouse expression.
◌ Aroma
The nose is layered and complex, opening with earthy, funky farmhouse character—the signature of wild yeast working across three years. Dark chocolate and cocoa powder emerge alongside sun-dried cherry and fig, underpinned by vinous oak and a whisper of barrel tannin. The aromatics suggest age and patience without any sharpness or vinegar note.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and wine-soaked, with rich grain character balanced by a gentle acidity that lifts without dominating. Mid-palate unfolds layers of dried cherry, cocoa, and subtle barrel tannins, while the low bitterness (25 IBU) allows oak and fermentation character to speak. The body is full yet refined, never heavy or cloying.
◑ Finish
The finish is long, dry, and woody, with a light tartness that lingers without aggression. A contemplative aftertaste of dried fruit and cocoa dust fades slowly, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.
