Boréale Noire

◎ Aussehen

Opaque black with a tan head that settles into a creamy collar. The body is dense and light-absorbing, typical of stouts built from black and roasted malts. Head retention is firm, with visible lacing clinging to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

Cocoa and coffee dominate the nose, lifted by roasted grain character. Behind these lead notes sit caramel sweetness, walnut depth, and toasted bread. The roast is clean and balanced, with no harsh or acrid edges—a measured expression of black malt and roasted barley.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is dry and roast-driven, with coffee and chocolate flavors unfolding across the mid-palate. Caramel and walnut notes provide sweetness and complexity, while the body stays creamy and smooth. Bitterness builds gradually from roasted grain—not aggressive, but persistent and well-integrated.

◑ Abgang

The finish dries considerably, with roasted grain bitterness taking hold. A subtle cocoa and coffee echo lingers, fading cleanly without astringency or overstay.
