St Philips

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to black in the glass, with a opaque body that reveals no light when held to a flame. A dense, creamy head forms and holds with good adhesion to the glass walls. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted coffee and cocoa notes, grounded in dark malt complexity. A subtle molasses sweetness sits beneath, adding a hint of caramel depth without overwhelming the roast character. The aromatic profile is balanced and inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and rich, delivering the promised roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavors with a smooth texture on the palate. The mid-palate maintains body and sweetness while the 35 IBUs provide a restrained bitterness that emerges gradually. The finish turns noticeably dry, with lingering roast and cocoa notes clearing cleanly.

◑ Abgang

A dry, moderately long finish dominated by roasted coffee and dark chocolate, with the molasses sweetness fading to reveal a clean bitterness. The aftertaste remains pleasant and free from harsh astringency.
