King Goblin

◎ Appearance

King Goblin presents a dark ruby hue with good clarity and a modest, persistent head. The color suggests generous use of chocolate and crystal malts, while carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, leaving fine lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with treacle and toffee sweetness, underpinned by chocolate and roasted coffee notes. Earthy undertones from the Fuggles and Sovereign hops provide subtle depth, while Styrian and Cascade hops add gentle herbal complexity without aggression.

◐ Taste

The palate is full and smooth, with rich caramel and roasted malt flavors dominating the mid-palate. Coffee notes persist throughout, and a measured bitterness emerges in the finish to balance the inherent sweetness, creating a harmonious interplay rather than dominance.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with the bitterness lingering gently against residual caramel sweetness. No harsh edges; the aftertaste fades to a warm, slightly dry malt-driven fade.
