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.

Serve at 8–11°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
