The Smoked Brown

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown with amber highlights at the edges, translucent in a thin beam. The head is modest but persistent, leaving fine streaks of lacing down the glass. Carbonation appears gentle, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

Beechwood smoke rises first, soft and resinous without harshness. Beneath it, dark dried fruit—plum and raisin—mingles with caramel maltiness and a whisper of earth. The smoke is restrained, acting more as a frame than a statement.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with gentle toffee sweetness and subtle smoke that coats without dominating. Mid-palate reveals layer of roasted plum and a light woody character. Bitterness is soft and measured at 24 IBU, finishing clean without astringency.

◑ Abgang

Medium finish with smoke and malt lingering together. The aftertaste is warm and slightly dry, with fading notes of stone fruit and beech char.
