Batemans x Titanic – Wainfleet

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber hue with excellent clarity and a persistent, creamy head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a polished visual presence. The color reflects the blend of crystal, cara, and chocolate malts without cloudiness.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced malt character—toasted grain and subtle chocolate notes set the foundation. Citrus from the Wai-iti and Chinook hops emerges as a secondary layer, alongside gentle spice and a hint of caramel sweetness. The New Zealand and German hop blend creates a balanced, inviting bouquet without aggressive herbality.

◐ Geschmack

The palate leads with malty fullness and caramel sweetness, supported by the depth of chocolate and Munich malt complexity. Citrus and subtle spice thread through the mid-palate, while moderate bitterness (36 IBU) arrives cleanly without dominating. The beer drinks smooth and refreshing despite its richness, with excellent balance between malt sweetness and restrained hop bite.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering caramel and a touch of chocolate fade. Refreshing character prevails, making this highly sessionable despite the complexity of flavors.
