Softly Falling Darkness

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, with excellent opacity and a rich tan head that builds quickly and clings persistently to the walls. The body appears full and substantial, with fine carbonation rising steadily through the dark liquid.

◌ Aroma

Roasted dark chocolate and cocoa dominate the nose, layered with warm caramel malt and subtle notes of dark fruit. Beneath lies a gentle coffee earthiness, with the oats contributing a soft, almost creamy sweetness that rounds the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Velvety chocolate and caramel malts coat the palate immediately, followed by a creamy mid-palate where flaked oats soften the roasted character. Bitterness remains restrained at 30 IBU, allowing the malty sweetness and chocolate notes to shine without harsh edges; coffee and subtle dark fruit emerge as the beer warms slightly.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with chocolate and caramel lingering gently on the palate. A pleasant, dry aftertaste follows, leaving behind traces of roasted grain and subtle coffee without astringency.
