La Noire

◎ Aussehen

Jet black in the glass with minimal light transmission, revealing the beer's deep opacity. A tan head forms on the pour and maintains moderate retention, clinging to the glass walls in sparse lacing. The body sits still and dense, with fine carbonation evident only in scattered bubble chains.

◌ Aroma

Roasted barley dominates the nose with a pronounced coffee character—bitter espresso grounds and charred grain. Beneath lies a subtle earthiness with hints of cocoa powder and dark chocolate. The aromatic profile remains dry and restrained, with no sweetness or fruity notes competing.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with assertive roasted malt and bitter coffee notes that coat the tongue immediately. Mid-palate reveals a smooth, creamy mouthfeel that softens the initial bitterness, with traces of dark chocolate and grain earthiness emerging. The drying effect builds steadily, leaving no residual sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is distinctly dry and lingering, with roasted coffee bitterness persisting for several minutes. Aftertaste remains clean and mineral-like, with fading chocolate and earthy undertones.

Etwas wärmer als erwartet. 10–13°C lässt die gerösteten Malz-, Schokoladen- und Kaffeenoten vollständig entfalten.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
