Old Master Hen

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to copper hue with good clarity and a dense, cream-colored head that clings to the glass with persistence. The body shows an inviting richness of color typical of strong ales, with moderate carbonation visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the liquid.

◌ Aroma

The 2025 vintage opens with a spice-forward profile, where selected hops deliver subtle citrus notes layered beneath warm grain character. Toffee and sweet malt form the foundation, creating a nose that balances herbal-spiced complexity with candied depth.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and malty, with toffee and caramel notes building quickly across the mid-palate. The hop blend introduces a gentle spiced bitterness and citrus zest that cuts through the sweetness without overwhelming; at 35 IBU the bitterness remains restrained and integrated.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering toffee and malt sweetness fading into a subtle herbal and citrus dryness. The 7% ABV sits lightly, allowing the flavors to resolve without harshness.
