Bam Noire

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to brown in the glass, leaning toward the darker end of the spectrum for a saison. The beer presents with good clarity and a modest, persistent head that leaves delicate lacing on the sides of the glass. Carbonation is brisk and lively, supporting a fine, tight foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with earthy, leather-forward notes reminiscent of worn saddle and cool autumn air. Underneath lie sweet plum and dried raisin notes, complemented by subtle toasted grain character. A faint background of coffee and cacao adds depth without overwhelming the farmhouse yeast complexity.

◐ Geschmack

Sweet plum and raisin lead the entry, with toasted, roasted malt providing body and depth. Mid-palate delivers gentle coffee and cacao undertones, while a clean, refreshing tartness cuts through, preventing any cloying sensation. Low bitterness (28 IBU) keeps the profile approachable despite the dark character.

◑ Abgang

The finish emerges tart and decidedly refreshing, with lingering dry notes that invite another sip. The tartness persists gently into the aftertaste without harshness, supported by subtle yeast-derived spice.
