Export Stout London 1890

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown with a dense, persistent tan head that clings to the glass in thick lacing. The body is opaque and full, with minimal light penetration. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a creamy, stable foam structure typical of bottle-conditioned ales.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted malt character — dark coffee grounds, cocoa powder, and a subtle burnt grain quality. Dark stone fruits emerge underneath, with notes of dried plum and raisin. A gentle warmth from the alcohol sits in the background without dominating, allowing the layered roast profile to lead.

◐ Geschmack

Rich and full on entry, with immediate roasted grain intensity balanced by dark chocolate smoothness. The mid-palate reveals coffee bitterness and dried fruit complexity, while the alcohol warmth becomes more apparent without harshness. Bitterness is restrained at 40 IBU, allowing the malt's depth to remain the focus rather than hop aggression.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and dry, with roasted malt and coffee lingering on the palate. A slight residual sweetness from dark malt balances the drying effect, creating a complex and contemplative 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.
