Deth's Tar

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to black in color, with an opaque and impenetrable body. A dense, tan head forms and clings to the glass with fine lacing. Minimal carbonation produces a still, viscous presentation befitting the high alcohol content and barrel aging.

◌ Aroma

The nose is led by dark chocolate and toasted oak from the bourbon barrel aging, with a subtle vanilla sweetness underlying. Hints of roasted grain and a faint coffee character emerge beneath, while the alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated and does not dominate.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with pronounced dark chocolate and cocoa notes, followed by a rich, supple mouthfeel that belies the 14.8% ABV. Toasted oak and vanilla develop in the mid-palate, with roasted grain and subtle dark fruit providing complexity. Bitterness is moderate at 65 IBU, offering restraint and balance rather than aggression.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with lingering chocolate and vanilla notes fading gradually into a slight coffee aftertaste. A gentle alcohol warmth persists without becoming harsh or overly warming.
