Extra Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep opaque black with a mahogany rim when held to light. A dense tan head forms on the pour and clings to the glass with persistent lacing as the beer recedes. The body is full and substantial, with moderate carbonation evident in a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Roasted barley dominates the nose, opening with dark chocolate and espresso notes. Beneath lies a subtle coffee earthiness with hints of cocoa powder and a faint licorice undertone. The East Kent Golding hops contribute a restrained herbal dryness that does not overpower the roasted character.

◐ Geschmack

The palate unfolds with roasted coffee and cocoa in the foreground, supported by a medium body that feels smooth and well-integrated. Licorice and a pronounced dry roastiness emerge mid-palate, reminiscent of lingering espresso bitterness. The 45 IBUs provide firm drying bitterness without harshness, finishing with a gentle mineral edge.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and dry, with roasted grain character persisting into the aftertaste. A light bittersweet coffee note lingers briefly before fading into a dry mineral impression.
