Twin Peaks

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black pour with a rich mahogany rim when held to light. A dense, tan head forms and settles into a fine collar with steady lacing down the glass. The body is opaque and full, with carbonation releasing as a gentle stream of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Chocolate and cacao dominate the nose, layered with warm vanilla and subtle roasted grain notes. Beneath these sit gentle hints of almond and a faint whisper of coffee, creating an inviting, dessert-like profile. The sweetness is prominent without cloying, enhanced by the soft presence of oat and creamy malt undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with smooth chocolate and caramel sweetness, carried by the soft mouthfeel of oats and lactose. Mid-palate reveals layered complexity: vanilla and subtle nuttiness emerge alongside restrained coffee and dark fruit notes, while roasted malt provides backbone. Bitterness is gentle at 35 IBU, playing a supporting role that prevents excessive sweetness.

◑ Finish

A warm, lingering finish that preserves chocolate and vanilla character without overstaying. The aftertaste is clean and slightly sweet, with fading roasted notes and a whisper of almond.
