Black Light

◎ Appearance

Near-black in the glass, with dense opacity characteristic of the style. A tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. The modest carbonation sits quietly beneath the surface, allowing the dark malt character to dominate visually.

◌ Aroma

Dark chocolate and roasted coffee lead the nose, with a gentle char note weaving underneath. The roast is balanced by a subtle sweetness that suggests caramel undertones without veering into cloying territory. No aggressive hop character intrudes; instead, the aromatics remain centered on the malt's dark, toasted expression.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with velvety chocolate and coffee, immediately settling into a smooth, medium-light body that defies the beer's modest 4.5% ABV. Residual sweetness keeps the roasted grain from drying the mouth, while a light char provides subtle complexity. Bitterness remains restrained, allowing the malt's soft, toasted character to linger without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is soft and lingering, with chocolate and coffee notes fading gradually rather than abruptly. No sharp bitterness intrudes; instead, a gentle warmth and residual sweetness persist on the palate.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
