Dunkel

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to nearly black in the glass, with a red-amber glow at the rim when held to light. The head is modest but persistent, leaving fine Schaumkleiden down the sides of the glass. Carbonation is gentle and well-integrated, lending a soft visual texture to the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with restrained, biscuity malt—toasted bread crust and a subtle note of caramel sweetness. Noble hop character emerges underneath as a faint floral whisper, adding delicate herbal balance. No yeast phenolics or esters dominate; the overall impression is clean and understated.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and full-bodied, with bread crust maltiness carrying through from nose to mid-palate. Bitterness is measured at 22 IBU—just enough to frame the malt without asserting itself. The finish is dry and crisp, with a gentle fade of grain and a whisper of herbal hop resin.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers briefly with a clean, malty fade and no harshness. A slight peppery dryness from the Edelhopfen persists on the palate, inviting another sip.
