Obsidian Stout

◎ Aussehen

Pours nearly black with minimal light transmission, displaying the deep opacity characteristic of a well-crafted stout. A dense, tan head forms and clings to the glass with persistent lacing that marks each sip. The body shows no cloudiness, presenting a clean and professional appearance.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted barley and espresso notes, accented by dark chocolate and a burnt caramel sweetness that sits beneath the roasted grain. A subtle mineral character emerges alongside hints of ash, while the overall aromatic profile remains grounded and earthy rather than floral or fruity.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with a full body and roasted malt character that carries espresso and dark chocolate flavors into the mid-palate. Delta and Northern Brewer hops provide a firm, woody bitterness with a whisper of mint that prevents the burnt-sugar sweetness from becoming cloying. The interplay between roast and restrained sweetness creates balance and structure.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and dry, with lingering roast character and a subtle minty-woody note that carries into the aftertaste. Bitterness persists gently without harshness, leaving a clean impression.
