Sick Day

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to copper-brown hue, characteristic of the style at SRM 20. The unfiltered nature yields a gentle cloudiness throughout, softening the visual clarity without obscuring the color. Modest head retention with fine carbonation beads.

◌ Aroma

Pronounced pine and resin notes dominate the nose, backed by black pepper and herbal spice from the 65 IBU charge. Beneath the hop forward character lies a warm, toasty malt bed with hints of caramel and dark stone fruit, creating layered complexity without harshness.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and malt-driven, with chocolate and hazelnut notes establishing a nutty foundation. Mid-palate brings assertive pine and herbal bitterness that integrates cleanly with the warming malt sweetness; no sharp edges. The bitterness persists firmly but balances rather than dominates.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering pine resin and a gentle peppery warmth. The toasty malt character carries through cleanly without cloying sweetness.
