Boréale Rousse

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber hue with excellent clarity and a warm, translucent glow. The head forms a dense ivory collar that clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing with each sip. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a fine, stable foam.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent caramel sweetness layered over toasted bread and roasted grain notes. Subtle dark fruit undertones—plum and raisin—emerge beneath the malt, while a gentle nutty character adds textural interest. Noble hops provide a restrained herbal backdrop without dominating.

◐ Geschmack

Caramel and toffee dominate the palate entry, supported by a chewy malt body that feels full without being heavy. The mid-palate reveals notes of toasted grain and subtle roasted complexity, balanced by a moderate, clean bitterness that prevents cloying. Nutty dryness builds gently through the finish, cutting through residual sweetness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, with bitterness fading to reveal a lingering nuttiness and dry malt character. The aftertaste remains clean and composed, without sweetness overstaying its welcome.
