Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Silvator
◎ Appearance
Silvator presents a reddish-dark mahogany hue drawn from dark barley malt, viewed against light with evident depth and clarity. The head is firm and densely packed with fine bubbles, displaying caramel tones that persist with good retention and lacing.
◌ Aroma
The nose leads with pronounced malty character: bread crust and toasted grain notes dominate, followed by toffee and hints of dark fruit—plum and raisin—characteristic of the beer's Lenten brewing tradition. A subtle noble hop presence adds mild herbal undertones without overwhelming the malt foundation.
◐ Taste
Entry is full and malty, with bread crust and caramel notes establishing the mid-palate. Toffee sweetness and dark stone fruit develop through the center before a pleasantly bitter hop note emerges to balance the rich malt bill. The finish carries a slight edge—a characteristic roughness that prevents cloying.
◑ Finish
The aftertaste is moderately long, with lingering toffee and bread notes underscored by the hop bitterness. Warmth from the 7.5% ABV adds to the final impression without harshness.
