◎ Aussehen

Deep black to opaque brown, revealing no light even when held to the source. The head is dense and persistent, with fine bubbles that leave distinct lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to a creamy visual structure.

◌ Aroma

Prominent smoke from the smoked malt forms the foundation, accompanied by subtle licorice-like notes that add intrigue. Coffee and dark roasted grain emerge on the second pass, while faint dark chocolate undertones round out the nose. The wheat component softens the overall impression, preventing any harsh or acrid qualities.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and wheat-forward, with a rounded mouthfeel that distinguishes this from typical barley-based stouts. Mid-palate develops roasted grain character, smoke, and subtle cocoa complexity, building a rich but never heavy presence. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the malt-driven flavors to dominate; any sharpness is replaced by smooth, slightly sweet grain.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, lingering with smoke and a faint licorice whisper rather than harsh dryness. Aftertaste is clean and malty, with residual chocolate notes fading gradually into toast and grain.
