Gotta Get Up to Get Down

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany brown with an opaque, impenetrable body characteristic of the style. A thick, tan head forms and lingers with visible lacing down the glass. The density of the pour suggests the creamy mouthfeel promised by the lactose addition.

◌ Aroma

Roasted coffee dominates the nose immediately, with bright espresso notes backed by darker chocolate and cocoa powder. Beneath the coffee lie deeper notes of roasted barley Malz, contributing a subtle earthiness without sharp char. The lactose remains subtle in the aroma, present more as a softening backdrop than a distinct note.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with pronounced coffee and roasted grain, followed by creamy chocolate and a gentle sweetness from the lactose. The body is full and silky, coating the mouth with a smooth malt backbone. Bitterness is restrained at 18 IBU, arriving late and finishing dry rather than harsh.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with roasted coffee notes persisting alongside a faint chocolate aftertaste. The lactose prevents any astringency, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.

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.
