Harboe Extra Strong

◎ Aussehen

Harboe Extra Strong presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity. A generous, creamy foam head forms with stable retention, leaving fine lacing along the glass as it settles. Gentle carbonation produces a refined bead that sustains throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct caramel and toasted malt notes, supported by subtle grain sweetness. Light, understated hop presence remains recessive, allowing the malty character to dominate. A gentle, clean fermentation profile underpins the overall aromatic profile without any harsh alcohol burn.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with prominent caramel and malty sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness. The mid-palate develops a creamy, almost silky texture that carries the malt-forward character through the center. Low hop bitterness (22 IBU) ensures the rich malt character remains prominent without becoming cloying.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, fading gracefully with lingering malt sweetness and a subtle drying sensation. No harsh alcohol notes intrude, leaving a pleasant, warm aftertaste reminiscent of caramel and grain.
