Ketterer Trumpf

◎ Aussehen

A deep mahogany hue with excellent clarity and a persistent, creamy head that clings to the glass. The body shows good density, with a fine carbonation that supports sustained foam retention throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

Inviting malt-forward nose with notes of toasted bread, caramel, and subtle dark fruit character. Noble hops contribute a restrained floral and herbal layer that complements rather than dominates, while the alcohol remains discreetly woven into the overall bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with a velvety, full-bodied entry that coats the mouth with smooth malt sweetness and caramel notes. Mid-palate reveals layers of dark fruit and toffee, balanced by modest Hallertauer and Tettnanger hop bitterness that provides structure without harshness.

◑ Abgang

A warming, wine-like conclusion emerges as the finish lengthens, with the 7.6% ABV becoming apparent in a gently alcoholic aftertaste. The warmth persists pleasantly without becoming harsh or overly dry.
