As Above So Below

◎ Aussehen

Deep opaque black with a warm brown undertone at the edges when held to light. A dense tan head forms on the pour and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. The body is viscous and still, with minimal visible carbonation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted grain and freshly ground espresso, anchored by a robust malt character. Beneath the coffee-forward profile emerge secondary notes of cinnamon, pecan, and dark chocolate, with subtle hints of vanilla and dried fruit. The alcohol sits warm in the background without becoming intrusive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens full and smooth, with the coffee character dominating the mid-range—bold but not sharp. Rich chocolate and nutty sweetness build through the center, supported by substantial malt body. Bitterness arrives moderately at 65 IBU, providing balance without overwhelming the darker, warmer flavors; cinnamon and pecan spice emerge on the transition to finish.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends long, warming with alcohol heat that evokes rum or whiskey. Dark chocolate, toasted pecan, and cinnamon linger into a dry, roasted aftertaste.
