Blackout

◎ Aussehen

Deep black color with near-opaque density and excellent clarity. A dense, creamy head forms immediately and clings persistently to the glass walls with tight, fine bubbles. The rich foam structure and dark hue set a formal, substantial visual foundation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted barley and coffee bean character, layered beneath cocoa and dark chocolate notes. These aromas sit comfortably without sharpness, supported by the malt bill's roasted components—particularly the Carafa III—which add depth without harshness. A subtle earthiness underscores the sweeter chocolate and cocoa impressions.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with immediate coffee and dark chocolate flavors that develop across the palate. Roasted malt character builds through the mid-palate with pronounced cocoa tones, while moderate bitterness (38 IBU) balances the sweetness without dominating. The finish carries rich chocolate and coffee notes that persist cleanly.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with coffee and subtle chocolate echoes that fade gradually. A restrained bitterness from Brewer's Gold hops leaves the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
