Foundry Mild

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, presenting a dense, opaque body characteristic of the style. The head is substantial and persistent, clinging to the glass walls with fine lacing. Carbonation appears gentle, befitting a cask-conditioned ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by dark roasted malt with earthy undertones and a warm, toasted character. Nutty notes emerge clearly, accompanied by subtle hints of dried fruit and a gentle wisp of caramel sweetness. No hop aroma registers; the profile remains firmly malt-centric.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with the dark malt establishing a foundation of cocoa and walnut. Mid-palate reveals a balanced sweetness with hazelnut notes and a thread of fruit complexity running throughout. Bitterness is restrained at 24 IBU, allowing malt and fruit character to dominate without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and lingering, with caramel notes settling alongside a subtle dry edge. The aftertaste carries traces of roasted grain and nut, fading gracefully without astringency.
