Brassneck

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown, nearly opaque, with a dense tan head that clings to the glass with notable retention. The unfiltered character shows a slight haze throughout. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the imperial stout's weight.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose, backed by prominent coffee character from whole beans used in brewing. Hazelnut adds a subtle nuttiness underneath, while toasted marshmallow contributes soft, sweet vanilla and caramel notes. The alcohol warms the aroma without harshness at this ABV.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with deep roasted grain and espresso-like coffee, structured by 65 IBU of measured bitterness that never overwhelms. Hazelnut and marshmallow sweetness build through the mid-palate, creating a velvety, almost dessert-like character. Alcohol warmth emerges gradually, adding spice and depth without hot edges.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with roasted and coffee notes lingering alongside soft marshmallow sweetness. Alcohol heat extends the close, leaving a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste that gradually fades.
