◎ Appearance

Deep ruby-red hue with a warm, translucent quality that catches light with an amber undertone. A modest tan head forms and settles to a thin collar with good Schaumhaftung along the glass. Carbonation is moderate and even, lending gentle effervescence without aggressive bubble streams.

◌ Aroma

Dusty cocoa powder and roasted grain lead the bouquet, with supporting notes of caramel malt and subtle earthiness. Red chile flakes contribute a dry, peppery character without aggressive heat—more herbaceous than spicy on the nose. Underlying malt sweetness provides a soft foundation without floral or fruity esters.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and malty on entry, with prominent dark chocolate and cocoa nib character that unfolds across the mid-palate. Red chile arrives as a savory, slightly peppery thread rather than a burning sensation, weaving through caramel and roasted grain notes. Bitterness is restrained at 18 IBU, allowing malt richness and the chile-cocoa interplay to dominate; finish is smooth without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium-length, with lingering cocoa dryness and a faint peppery fade. Aftertaste remains centered on malt and chocolate rather than hop bitterness, leaving a warming, slightly dusty quality on the palate.
