Rebel José

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown with red undertones, approaching opaque in the glass. The head forms a tight, tan collar with modest retention and fine Schaumkleiden along the rim. Carbonation is moderate and steady, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted coffee and dark chocolate, underpinned by warm caramel and subtle dried-fruit notes. Hints of citrus and stone fruit emerge as the beer warms, with a clean malt backbone that supports rather than dominates. The Honduran arabica is forward but well-integrated, never jarring or chemical.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and mildly sweet, with coffee and cocoa claiming the center of the palate. Mid-palate develops rich fruit notes—plum and citrus zest—balanced against low bitterness and a subtle roasted grain quality. The finish is clean and dry, allowing the coffee's complexity to linger without cloying.

◑ Abgang

Medium-short and dry, with coffee and faint cocoa lingering on the tongue. The aftertaste is clean and malt-forward, with no astringency or harsh roast character.
