Bootlegger

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown with reddish undertones, characteristic of the style. A dense, persistent head builds quickly and clings to the glass with visible lacing. The body is clear and well-defined, with gentle carbonation that sustains the foam structure throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with woody and hazelnut notes, earthy and grounded. Beneath lies a subtle maltiness with hints of caramel and light honey sweetness. Coffee and roasted barley emerge gradually, adding depth without dominating the bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with caramel and barley sugar, followed by creeping chocolate and coffee from roasted grains. Bitterness remains restrained at 15 IBU, allowing the malt sweetness to define the character. The structure is smooth and balanced, never harsh, with a clean finish that avoids astringency.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is soft and brief, fading cleanly without lingering roast or oak tannins. A gentle sweetness persists momentarily before the palate returns to neutral.
