Crunch AF

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to near-black with a dense, tan head that clings persistently to the glass. The body is opaque and full, with excellent head retention that leaves fine lacing down the sides. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate for the style and ABV.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted peanuts and peanut butter, followed by warm biscuit and toasted grain notes. Subtle cocoa and a faint vanilla sweetness from the lactose round out the profile. The roast is clean without burnt or ashy character, suggesting controlled kilning.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is velvety and creamy, driven by lactose sweetness and the silky mouthfeel characteristic of the style. Mid-palate develops peanut and biscuit flavors with low bitterness (18 IBU) that provides gentle structure without harshness. The finish is smooth and slightly dry, with residual sweetness that lingers without cloying.

◑ Abgang

Short to medium finish with a pleasant drying effect. The aftertaste remains focused on malty peanut and biscuit notes with a subtle roast backdrop, fading cleanly.
