St. Afra Schwarz

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany with red shimmer, presenting a rich yet translucent body when held to light. A gently sparkling carbonation rises through the glass, topped with a creamy beige head that settles into fine lacing.

◌ Aroma

Spicy roast aromas dominate the nose, mingling with brewed coffee and espresso notes. Subtle licorice undertones emerge beneath the roasted character, creating a complex, layered bouquet without aggressive alcohol vapors.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with rounded roasted grain and coffee flavors, supported by a gentle malt sweetness and creamy mouthfeel. Licorice and spice notes persist through the mid-palate, while moderate bitterness (25 IBU) provides balance without dominating, keeping the profile smooth and integrated.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering roasted and licorice notes fading gracefully. A light, dry aftertaste leaves the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
