Choco Menta

◎ Aussehen

Choco Menta presents a deep black body with minimal translucence, characteristic of an Imperial Stout at 40 SRM. The head forms a dense, tan-brown collar that clings to the glass walls with visible lacing. Carbonation is moderate, lending a creamy visual texture to this full-bodied beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced cocoa and dark chocolate notes, underpinned by roasted malt and subtle coffee undertones. Mint emerges in the background as a cooling counterpoint, while a faint whisper of dark fruit and alcohol warmth rounds out the aromatic profile. The overall impression is rich and layered without aggressive hop presence.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with full-bodied chocolate flavors—cocoa solids and sweet cocoa butter dominate the entry and mid-palate. Coffee and roasted grain provide structural depth, while the mint adds a gentle, refreshing contrast that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. Bitterness sits at a moderate 55 IBU, offering balance without overshadowing the pastry-stout character. Dark fruit notes linger at the edges, adding subtle complexity.

◑ Abgang

The finish is warming and lingering, with chocolate and roasted malt fading into a gentle mint coolness. Alcohol warmth (10% ABV) carries through the aftertaste without harshness, leaving a semi-dry, cocoa-tinged impression.
