Black Belt

◎ Aussehen

Deep ebony color with a dense, tan head that clings persistently to the glass. The body is opaque and substantial, with excellent head retention and fine carbonation that manifests as a gentle cascade of bubbles. The dense foam structure demonstrates confident conditioning and careful pouring technique.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted grain and dark chocolate, followed by prominent espresso and cocoa notes that emerge from the oat-forward grain foundation. Subtle hints of dark fruit and dried fruit complexity add depth without overshadowing the primary roast character. The aromatic profile is clean and well-integrated, with no sharp or off-putting notes.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and creamy, with the oat component providing a silky mouthfeel that carries roasted malt sweetness across the palate. Mid-palate develops chocolate and coffee character balanced against gentle bitterness, while the 6.5% ABV remains well-hidden beneath the rich body. Finish is dry without astringency, leaving a lingering roast and subtle dark fruit complexity.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends with sustained roast character and a whisper of dark fruit. Warmth from the alcohol is present but restrained, allowing the malt complexity to dominate the aftertaste.

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.
