Woodland Creatures

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to nearly black in color, with a dense and persistent head that clings to the glass. The body is opaque and full, with good carbonation evident in steady bubble streams. Lacing clings substantially to the sides with each sip.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted nut character—hazelnut and almond—layered beneath sweet marzipan notes. Beneath lies a woody, rum-like warmth that suggests age or deep caramelization. Cinder toffee provides a subtle burnt-sugar sweetness without harshness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and creamy from the lactose base, revealing pistachio as a mid-palate note that adds distinctive green, almost savory character. The roasted Malz foundation delivers cocoa and toast complexity, while bitterness remains restrained at 18 IBU—present but never sharp, allowing sweetness to frame the flavor.

◑ Abgang

The finish is warming and lingering, with residual toffee and roasted grain drying slightly on the palate. Sweetness persists long into the aftertaste without cloying.
