Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted grain character, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and dried stone fruit. These aromas sit comfortably above a clean fermentation profile, with no solvent notes or off-aromas typical of alcohol-free brewing. The aromatic balance respects the brewery's traditional house character.

Taste

Entry is smooth with a gentle, bittersweet maltiness that develops into distinct cocoa and dark fruit flavors across the mid-palate. Bitterness at 25 IBU arrives with restrained authority, providing structure without harshness. The absence of alcohol does not diminish the beer's flavor weight or complexity; instead, it allows the roasted and chocolate notes to speak clearly against a balanced, assertive finish.
