Hopfenbohne

◎ Appearance

A mahogany-brown beer with deep amber highlights and opaque body characteristic of the style. The dense, tan head settles to a persistent collar with fine Schaumhaftung around the glass. Carbonation is moderate, creating a full-bodied visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by intense coffee character from the cold extract of Man Vs Machine beans, layered with subtle floral notes from Hallertau Perle hops. A light roasted grain backdrop and hints of caramelised malt add depth, while gentle fruity esters provide sweetness without cloying.

◐ Taste

Entry brings smooth coffee and roasted malt in equal measure, with caramel notes building through the mid-palate. The 35 IBU provide measured bitterness that integrates rather than dominates; dark chocolate and subtle dark fruit appear in the second half, kept in balance by the beer's inherent sweetness and rich mouthfeel.

◑ Finish

A clean, moderately long finish with coffee and roasted grain lingering gently. The aftertaste remains dry without harshness, allowing the beer's fruity and caramel notes to fade naturally.
