The Code

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown color with a dense, tan head that clings persistently to the glass walls. The body is opaque and full-bodied, with tight carbonation that sustains the foam collar throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

Dark roasted coffee dominates the nose, accompanied by rich notes of unsweetened cocoa powder and dark chocolate. A subtle licorice thread weaves underneath, with hints of dark fruit contributing depth without obscuring the roast-forward profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with pronounced coffee and roast character, immediately tempered by smooth dark chocolate and cocoa sweetness that provide structure and balance. The mid-palate remains creamy and full-bodied; bitterness builds steadily toward the finish without harshness, anchored by the 65 IBUs and deep malt foundation.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and roasty, with lingering bitterness and coffee notes that fade gradually. The 12% ABV adds warmth without sharp alcohol burn, leaving a dry, contemplative aftertaste.
