Salted Caramel Brownie

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to near-black in the glass with an opaque, impenetrable body characteristic of the style. A modest tan head settles quickly, leaving intermittent lacing along the glass. Carbonation is restrained, allowing the heavy roasted character to dominate visually.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced cocoa and roasted grain, grounded in the mineral earthiness of darkly kilned malt. Caramel sweetness emerges in the mid-range, underpinned by a subtle briny minerality from the sea salt addition. Secondary coffee and dark chocolate notes provide depth without dominance.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is full and velvety, with roasted and chocolate malt delivering substantial cocoa richness from the opening. Mid-palate caramel sweetness balances moderate bitterness (23 IBU), while a pronounced salty note cuts through the richness without sharpness. The finish carries lingering chocolate and a drying salt accent that prevents cloying sweetness.

◑ Abgang

A persistent dry finish emerges as the sea salt and roasted character dominate the aftertaste. Cocoa lingers gently for several seconds, leaving the palate clean and slightly mineral.
