◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to black pour with dense, persistent head and tight foam structure. The beer presents as opaque and full-bodied on the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating fine bubbles that support excellent head retention and lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with intense wood smoke and smoked ham notes, immediately commanding attention. Dark bread crust, dried plum, and subtle toffee round out the aromatic profile, with a faint dark chocolate note emerging beneath the malt-forward base. The smoke character is forward and persistent without becoming acrid.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is full and warming, with smoke flavors dominating the entry and mid-palate. Dark bread crust, toffee, and dried plum provide structural sweetness, while the heavy malt bill delivers notes of dark chocolate and subtle caramel complexity. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich despite the 8% ABV, with the smoke lingering persistently across the palate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and smoke-driven, with the wood smoke character extending well into the aftertaste. Lingering notes of smoked ham and dark bread persist, while the alcohol warmth provides gentle support without harshness.
