Angel's Share Barrel Works

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany-brown to near-black in the glass, with excellent clarity and a thick, persistent tan head. The beer displays strong foam adhesion to the glass wall, leaving distinct lacing with each sip. The color intensity reflects 28 months of oak aging and deep Malz character.

◌ Aroma

Rich bourbon oak dominates the nose, accompanied by pronounced vanilla and dark roasted coffee notes. Beneath lies dark chocolate and subtle dark fruit undertones, with a warming alcoholic presence that frames without overpowering. The oak influence is mature and integrated rather than raw or aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with roasted Malz and oak tannins, transitioning through layers of bittersweet chocolate and vanilla sweetness in the mid-palate. The 12% ABV provides warmth and weight while remaining balanced; bitterness at 65 IBU is restrained and integrated, allowing the barrel and adjunct complexity to remain central. A smooth, velvety mouthfeel carries the full range of flavors.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with roasted coffee and oak lingering on the palate for several minutes. A subtle vanilla sweetness fades slowly, leaving dry tannins and a gentle alcohol warmth as the final impression.

Etwas wärmer als erwartet. 10–13°C lässt die gerösteten Malz-, Schokoladen- und Kaffeenoten vollständig entfalten.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
