Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Night Swim
◎ Appearance
Deep mahogany brown with red undertones, nearly opaque at the core. The dense tan head settles into fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is moderate, releasing a steady procession of small bubbles.
◌ Aroma
Roasted coffee grounds and dark chocolate dominate the nose, backed by subtle black licorice and dried plum notes. The aroma is inviting rather than aggressive, with a faint earthy undertone that suggests well-rounded Malz character. No hop punch; the profile sits squarely in malt territory.
◐ Taste
Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with coffee and cocoa settling across the mid-palate in equal measure. A whisper of dark stone fruit—plum or raisin—threads underneath the roasted core. Bitterness is restrained at 33 IBU, allowing the chocolate and coffee to finish their arc without harsh edges.
◑ Finish
The finish lingers gently, fading to warm cocoa and a faint coffee aftertaste rather than drying or turning astringent. Clean and composed, leaving no harsh residue.
