Dom's Red

◎ Aussehen

Deep ruby complexion with garnet highlights, displaying excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The body suggests substance without opacity, and carbonation presents as moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent toasted oak and vanilla notes from the whiskey barrel aging, layered with roasted grain and subtle caramel sweetness. Beneath sits a gentle wheat character and soft spice from Northern Brewer hops, creating a complex, wood-forward bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters smooth and malty, with caramel and toffee notes dominating the mid-palate alongside assertive oak tannins that frame the beer's structure. Roasted barley contributes dry cocoa undertones, while wheat adds subtle softness. Bitterness remains restrained at 27 IBU, allowing the barrel character and malt complexity to lead.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with lingering oak dryness and faint roasted notes persisting on the palate. The 9.8% ABV declares itself gently as heat rather than harshness.
