King Titus

◎ Aussehen

Deep garnet-brown with opaque clarity, characteristic of the style's roasted malt bill. A dense, mocha-colored head forms readily and clings to the glass with distinct lacing as the beer settles. Moderate carbonation supports a stable foam collar throughout the tasting.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with woody tobacco and walnut, grounding the profile in earthy, nutty notes. Burnt coffee and toffee emerge in the mid-range, complemented by dark chocolate undertones. The Centennial and Columbus hops contribute subtle herbal complexity beneath the dominant roasted and caramel characteristics.

◐ Geschmack

The palate delivers rich chocolate and coffee flavors that build through the mid-palate, supported by the sweetness of toffee and caramel malts. Nutty undertones add structure and complexity. Bitterness from the hop selection is restrained at 33 IBU, allowing the roasted and malty character to lead, while a gentle smokiness threads through the finish.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately lingering, with coffee and walnut notes fading into a dry, slightly warming aftertaste. The 7.5% ABV remains balanced and unobtrusive.
