◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to light copper hue with excellent clarity. The beer presents a substantial, tightly-knit head that clings persistently to the glass, leaving crisp lacing as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the full-bodied character without excess effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Smoke emerges first and most prominently, layered with rich dark fruit notes—raisins and plum—rather than sitting on the surface. English crystal malts contribute caramel sweetness and toasted complexity, while the beechwood smoke weaves through without dominance. A subtle biscuit and toffee undertone rounds the nose.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and malty, with sweet caramel and toffee character balanced by the gentle smoke that persists through the mid-palate. Dark fruit emerges cleanly—not candied, but deep and dried. The 10.2% ABV is present as warmth and body, though alcohol remains well-bound within the malt structure rather than assertive. Residual sweetness dominates the palate; bitterness is minimal.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with smoke and dark fruit fading slowly into a toasty, slightly sweet aftertaste. The alcohol heat lingers gently without harshness, leaving the palate with a soft malt sweetness.

Serviertemperatur 12–16°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.
