Bärni Spezial Dunkel

◎ Aussehen

Bärni Spezial Dunkel presents a deep chestnut-brown hue, clear and bright with excellent transparency. The head forms a dense, tan-coloured foam that clings persistently to the glass walls, demonstrating strong protein structure and fine carbonation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced toasted bread and subtle roast character, underscored by a malty foundation of caramel and light grain sweetness. Noble hops provide a restrained herbal and floral backdrop, adding complexity without overwhelming the warm, biscuity centre.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is led by a full, malty body with bready and lightly roasted grain notes developing in the mid-palate. A measured bitterness from Edelhopfen emerges cleanly, balancing the residual sweetness without becoming aggressive, while a faint dark fruit character adds depth.

◑ Abgang

The finish is smooth and gently lingering, with the hop bitterness gradually fading to reveal a subtle caramel sweetness that persists into the aftertaste. The departure leaves no harshness, only a refined dryness.
