Burning Soul Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to black in color with a dense, tan head that clings persistently to the glass. The unfined and unfiltered character creates a soft haze throughout the body, allowing light to pass through only at the edges. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting steady lacing as the beer is consumed.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by roasted grain and coffee character, with underlying chocolate and cocoa notes that emerge as the beer warms. A subtle toasted maltiness supports the roasted profile without sharpness or burnt edges. The unfined nature contributes a light grain-dust quality that rounds out the aromatic presentation.

◐ Geschmack

Smooth entry with creamy mouthfeel, driven by the oatmeal adjunct and judicious use of 30 IBU. Coffee and chocolate flavors develop through the mid-palate with a gentle roasted depth, balanced by mild bitterness that supports rather than dominates. The body is full without heaviness, and residual sweetness tempers the roasted character throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with roasted malt and a subtle cocoa fade extending for several seconds. No harshness or astringency lingers; instead, a gentle warmth from the 5.5% ABV becomes apparent in the aftertaste.

Etwas wärmer als erwartet. 10–13°C lässt die gerösteten Malz-, Schokoladen- und Kaffeenoten vollständig entfalten.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
