Onyx

◎ Aussehen

Onyx presents a deep chestnut to near-black pour, characteristic of a classically milled Dunkel. The beer shows good clarity despite its dark malt bill, with a modest tan head that settles to a thin collar. Carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, leaving delicate lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bread crust and caramel notes, supported by a soft, light roast edge that avoids char or burnt impressions. The malt character is clean and rounded, with no sharp edges or phenolic intrusion. Hop presence is restrained, allowing the dark Malz profile to dominate.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and malt-led, with caramel and toasted grain moving through the mid-palate without heaviness. Bitterness is low and well-integrated, never assertive or lingering. The finish is clean and dry, with a gentle sweetness from the malt base that never becomes cloying.

◑ Abgang

The finish is of moderate length, trailing off into a dry, lightly toasted aftertaste. No astringency or harsh edge remains; instead, a gentle malt sweetness lingers briefly on the palate.
