Bedstefars Øl

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown color with minimal clarity, characteristic of the style. The head forms densely and retreats gradually, leaving persistent lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive noble hop character, accompanied by roasted grain and cocoa notes. Dark fruit esters emerge beneath, with subtle coffee undertones that suggest a careful balance between bittering and aromatic hop additions.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and creamy, with roasted malt providing body and structure. The mid-palate develops chocolate and coffee notes alongside a pronounced but refined bitterness from the hops. Dark fruit character threads throughout, maintaining complexity without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and moderately long, with lingering coffee and hop bitterness. The aftertaste remains clean, allowing the roasted grain character to fade gradually.
