Black Cab

◎ Aussehen

Black Cab pours a deep jet black with minimal light transmission, presenting the visual density expected of a traditional London stout. The head is modest but persistent, with fine carbonation evident throughout the glass. Lacing clings steadily to the walls, tracing the beer's progression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted coffee and dark chocolate, grounded by the sweet earthiness of roasted grain. Subtle notes of red berry emerge beneath the roasted character, while the noble hops contribute a quiet herbal underscore. The malt-forward profile is balanced rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate surprises with restraint despite the dark appearance—the 4.5% ABV keeps the beer lithe and sessionable. Chocolate and roasted malt form the foundation, while tart red berry notes add dimension and lift. Oats provide a silken mouthfeel, and noble hops deliver a gentle bitterness that resolves cleanly.

◑ Abgang

The finish dries progressively, shedding sweetness in favour of a crisp, clean aftertaste. Roasted grain persists gently on the palate, leaving no cloying residue.
