Malz König

◎ Aussehen

A deep chestnut brown with subtle translucence at the edges, characteristic of the Dunkel style. The head is cream-colored and persistent, with fine lacing that adheres well to the glass. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a refined and composed visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose is anchored by pronounced malt character—toasted bread, light caramel, and hints of hazelnut emerge distinctly. Subtle herbal hop notes provide balance without dominating the profile. A soft, restrained sweetness suggests candied stone fruit undertones, with no aggressive alcohol presence despite the clean fermentation.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and velvety, with a full body that sustains malt-forward flavors across the palate. Toasted bread, dark chocolate, and a gentle caramel sweetness develop in the mid-palate, while mild bittering from noble hops (22 IBU) provides structure without harshness. The finish remains clean, with no cloying residue.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, fading gracefully with lingering toasted malt and a dry herbal note. No astringency remains, leaving a pleasant, slightly warming aftertaste.
