Pecado

◎ Aussehen

Deep garnet-black in the glass with an opaque body that permits no light. A dense, tan foam cap forms and clings persistently to the rim, leaving thick lacing down the sides. The carbonation is moderate and purposeful, befitting the beer's cream stout character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted barley and dark chocolate, grounded in the earthiness of Caramunich malt. Coconut cream rises subtly beneath, offering a soft, velvety backdrop without overwhelming the roasted character. A whisper of East Kent Goldings provides gentle herbal definition and a faint maritime salt note.

◐ Geschmack

Golden caramel coats the palate from the start, supported by oat malt's silken texture and oat's natural sweetness. Mid-palate reveals layered roasted notes—cocoa, burnt sugar—while coconut cream adds luxurious softness. Portuguese sea salt cuts through the richness with precision, and the 65 IBU of East Kent Goldings provides measured bitterness that sharpens rather than dominates.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium-long, with lingering caramel sweetness and a final pop of salt-driven minerality. A dry note emerges from the roasted grains, preventing cloying persistence and inviting another sip.
