Mescan Special Reserve

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany brown with a warm, translucent clarity. A dense, tan head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate, with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

Caramel dominates the nose, presenting a sweet, toffee-like character with undertones of baked bread. Dried stone fruits emerge in the background—plum and raisin—layered with a subtle malt sweetness. No aggressive hop aroma; the profile remains warm and inviting.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with rich malt sweetness and a prominent caramel foundation. Mid-palate builds complexity with dried fruit—particularly raisin and prune—balanced against the malt body. A moderate, clean bitterness emerges in the mid-palate and carries through, preventing cloying sweetness and providing structural balance.

◑ Abgang

The finish turns dry with a lingering, balanced bitterness that fades gradually. A subtle warmth from the alcohol remains without becoming harsh or intrusive.
