Old Man

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to dark brown in color, suggesting age and careful malt selection. The beer presents with moderate clarity and a thick, tan head that settles into a persistent collar of foam. Lacing clings to the glass in fine, delicate strands as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted malt character—warm coffee grounds and dark chocolate dominate, supported by subtle molasses sweetness. Beneath these rounded tones, a gentle herbal and earthy hop presence emerges from the Fuggles and Bramling Cross, grounding the bouquet without sharpness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and malty, with roasted grain and cocoa developing immediately across the mid-palate. The bittersweet character builds gently—toasted malt bitterness plays against residual sweetness—while noble hop character adds a measured bitterness (24 IBU) that complements rather than dominates. The finish remains clean and balanced, with no harsh edges.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers with dry roasted grain notes and a subtle chocolate echo. Moderate length and absence of harshness leave the palate satisfied and clean.
