Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Dream to Remember
◎ Appearance
Dream to Remember presents a deep garnet-black body with minimal transparency, characteristic of the black IPA style. The head is dense and cream-colored, settling to a persistent collar with pronounced lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and visible, contributing to a full, inviting visual presence.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with roasted malt and raw coffee bean, grounded by dark chocolate and subtle caramel notes. Pine and dry grass from the hops emerge in the mid-range, adding herbal complexity without overwhelming the roasted character. The overall bouquet balances roasty depth with a clean, dry hop presence.
◐ Taste
The palate opens with firm roasted grain and coffee, transitioning through a smooth, full body that carries notes of dark chocolate and caramel sweetness. A solid bitterness (60 IBU) asserts itself across the mid-palate without harshness, complemented by dry grass and pine on the sides of the tongue. The roast character maintains clarity throughout, balancing between caramelized depth and subtle burnt edges depending on perception.
◑ Finish
The finish is crisp and persistent, with the bitterness lingering cleanly without astringency. Roasted malt and a light brown sugar sweetness fade gradually, leaving a dry, coffee-tinged aftertaste.
