Black Angel Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep black with a brown tint to the light, opaque and full of character. A dense tan head forms and clings to the glass with pronounced lacing. The carbonation is moderate and releases steadily, revealing the beer's weight and body.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose with cocoa powder and dark chocolate notes in the foreground. Behind this lies a distinct citrus hop character—grapefruit and orange zest—that asserts itself without overwhelming the malt foundation. A subtle coffee note threads through, grounding the profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with bold roasted grain and bitter chocolate, followed by a pronounced citrus hop bitterness that sits squarely in the mid-palate. The body is full and substantial, with dry tannins that frame the beer's complexity. Hop presence is assertive for a stout, pushing back against the malt sweetness and creating tension.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and clean, with the citrus hop character lingering into the aftertaste. Roasted notes persist without becoming ashy, and the dryness encourages the next sip.
