Malheur Dark Brut

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown with amber highlights, displaying excellent clarity despite its complexity. The head forms with fine, persistent bubbles characteristic of bottle-fermented Champagne-method beers, leaving delicate lacing that clings to the glass with each sip.

◌ Aroma

A sophisticated bouquet opens with toasted oak and roasted coffee, accented by subtle vanilla notes from the American oak aging. Beneath these dominant wood-driven aromas lie hints of sherry and Madeira complexity, with the roasted malt contributing a coffee-candy sweetness that rounds the overall impression.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters dry and assertive, with roasted malt flavors and woody tannins building through the mid-palate. Oak dryness dominates the structure, held in balance by measured bitterness and a subtle sweetness from the 12% alcohol, evolving toward a clean, bone-dry finish with lingering wood spice.

◑ Abgang

Long and austere, with oak tannins and roasted notes persisting cleanly on the palate. The aftertaste remains bone-dry, with no residual sweetness—a testament to the careful disgorging and wood-aging process.
