Twelve Days

◎ Aussehen

Twelve Days pours a deep red-brown, dense and opaque, with the visual weight of a winter night. The head is modest but persistent, laying down fine lacing along the glass as it settles. Carbonation is gentle—appropriate to the beer's contemplative pace.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted grain and a warming spice character that fills the nostrils without aggression. Beneath sits dried fruit—sultanas and raisin notes—alongside a subtle nuttiness that draws the senses inward. There is no sharp edge; instead, the aromatic profile is rounded and malty, inviting a slow approach.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and rich, with a roasted backbone and notes of dark chocolate and coffee layered across the palate. The mid-palate reveals a structured sweetness—sultanas and caramel notes that balance the roast without cloying. Bitterness is restrained, allowing the malt complexity to dominate while keeping the beer from turning austere.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with nutty and spiced tones that linger into the aftertaste. This is a porter built for contemplation, not for quick consumption.
