Yorkshire Black

◎ Aussehen

Deep black with ruby edges when held to light, revealing the beer's true opacity and density. A modest tan head forms and dissipates relatively quickly, leaving intermittent lacing on the glass. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the style and contributing to the beer's approachable, gentle character.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose with notes of dark chocolate and cocoa, grounded and earthy rather than burnt. A subtle coffee note emerges beneath, complemented by a whisper of noble hop character that adds a mild herbal refinement. The overall impression is clean and balanced, without aggressive or fermentation-derived character.

◐ Geschmack

Soft roasted flavours coat the palate on entry, with a silky mouthfeel that belies the beer's relatively low gravity. Mid-palate reveals gentle bitterness from quality hops and roasted grains—never harsh or lingering—which integrates smoothly with a faint sweetness from the Malz. The low ABV permits an easy drinkability without warming or astringency.

◑ Abgang

Clean and dry, with roasted grain notes persisting briefly without overstaying. The finish is crisp and refreshing, inviting another sip rather than demanding contemplation.
