Afterglow

◎ Appearance

Afterglow presents a deep ruby-red colour with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that leaves distinct lacing on the glass. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a soft visual presence that reflects the ale's approachable strength.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with rich biscuit and toasted grain character, followed by warm caramel and toffee notes. Beneath lies a subtle dark fruit complexity with gentle spice from the rye, and a faint earthy hop backdrop that grounds the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and fully malty, with pronounced caramel sweetness balanced by a restrained bitterness. The palate sits rich with dark fruit and toasted malt flavours, while a subtle spice edge from the rye adds complexity without overwhelming the malt-forward character.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with earthy hop bitterness lingering pleasantly. The aftertaste carries faint toffee and spice notes, fading to a gentle, dry conclusion.
