Autumnal Fire

◎ Aussehen

Deep ruby-garnet color with a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass as you drink. The beer displays excellent clarity despite its dark, substantial malt bill, allowing light to pass through the body with a warm glow. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a silky visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

Dark stone fruit leads the nose—plum and dried cherry—backed by soft caramel and honeyed maltiness. Hallertau Mittelfruh hops contribute a subtle noble spice and herbal undertone that frames rather than dominates. Warmth from the alcohol is present but restrained, allowing the malt complexity to emerge clearly.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with dark fruit flavors immediately apparent alongside rich caramel and toffee notes. Mid-palate reveals layers of honey malt and soft malt complexity that add depth without harshness. Bitterness is gentle at 28 IBU, allowing the fruit and caramel to dominate while the noble hops contribute a refined, herbal finish to each sip.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with alcohol heat gradually building and spreading through the chest and shoulders. Lingering notes of toffee and dark fruit persist into the aftertaste, leaving the palate satisfied and glowing from within.
