Moenen

◎ Aussehen

Deep red-amber body with excellent clarity and a modest, persistent head. The color derives from dark crystal malt while retaining brightness, and the carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to fine lacing along the glass.

◌ Aroma

Pronounced beechwood smoke dominates the nose, soft and rounded rather than acrid or harsh. Supporting notes of caramel and dark bread emerge beneath, with a subtle roasted undertone that complements rather than overwhelms the smoky character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with smooth, malty sweetness that carries the smoke impression forward into the mid-palate. Roasted and bread-like notes provide body and depth; the 22 IBUs contribute restrained bitterness that arrives late and finishes clean, allowing the malt and smoke to remain foremost.

◑ Abgang

Medium-length finish with lingering smoke and malt sweetness. The aftertaste remains clean and slightly dry, without harshness.
