To Whom It May Concern

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to near-black with a red undertone characteristic of a well-kilned stout. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with substantial lacing. Carbonation is moderate, creating a soft, creamy visual texture throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

Cocoa and roasted coffee dominate the nose, supported by notes of roasted and smoked grain. A subtle sweetness emerges beneath, with hints of dark chocolate and caramel. The oat addition contributes a soft, cereal-like undertone that rounds the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is rich and full-bodied, with chocolate and coffee flavors immediately present on the palate. The mid-palate reveals layers of roasted malt and a gentle smoke character, while milk sugar and oats create a creamy mouthfeel that softens any astringency. Bitterness is restrained at 30 IBU, allowing the malt sweetness to carry through without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is moderately long, with chocolate and roasted grain lingering pleasantly on the palate. Aftertaste remains dry and slightly smoky, fading gradually without bitterness.
