Carl Wittmann Dunkel

◎ Aussehen

Deep chestnut brown with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a soft sparkle that lifts the dense visual presentation without becoming aggressive. Schaumhaftung is clean and even, leaving delicate lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted malt character—dark chocolate and roasted grain dominate, supported by subtle caramel sweetness and hints of black bread crust. A whisper of dried dark fruit emerges on the second nosing, while noble hops remain restrained in the background, contributing only a soft, herbal restraint rather than assertive aromatics.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters soft and malty, with roasted grain and chocolate flavors unfolding smoothly across the mid-palate. Subtle caramel sweetness rounds the profile, while a light bready note adds textural complexity. Bitterness remains mild and integrated at 22 IBU, never sharp, allowing the malt richness to remain prominent through to the swallow.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderate in length, with roasted malt flavors lingering softly without heaviness. Aftertaste is dry and slightly grainy, leaving the palate refreshed.
