Crème Brûlée

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown body with minimal transparency, characteristic of a fully roasted Imperial Stout. A thick tan head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing. Carbonation is moderate, supporting a dense and stable foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with creamy vanilla custard and caramelized sugar, evoking the beer's dessert-stout character. Beneath this sweet profile lies toasted black malt with subtle notes of dark chocolate and roasted grain. A gentle warmth from the 10% ABV sits in the background without harshness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with rich vanilla and buttery caramel, supported by creamy mouthfeel from the milk sugar. Mid-palate brings forward earthy roasted grain and dark chocolate complexity, balanced by 65 IBUs of moderate, clean bitterness. The finish remains full-bodied and smooth, with lingering vanilla and caramel notes that persist without cloying.

◑ Abgang

A long, warming finish with vanilla and caramel holding through the aftertaste. Slight alcohol presence (50% boozy profile) emerges as the beer fades, though it remains smooth and integrated rather than hot.
