Flemm

◎ Aussehen

Deep ruby-garnet hue with translucent clarity, revealing the beer's age and complexity. The head is modest but persistent, with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate for a barrel-aged farmhouse ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dried plum and raisin, underpinned by toffee Malz character and a subtle caramel sweetness. Wild yeast and bacteria contribute distinct barnyard and earthy notes—leather, hay, and a faint vinous complexity. Hop character recedes, allowing the funky, fermented profile to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

Bright lactic and acetic acidity frames the palate, cutting through toffee Malz and dark stone fruit. Mid-palate reveals layered earthiness and subtle yeasty richness, with a restrained 22 IBU providing gentle structure rather than bitterness. The low pH sharpens perception without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with acidity and earthy funk persisting well. A faint caramel sweetness fades into a clean, mouth-cleansing conclusion.
