Coffee Brown Ale

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber-brown hue with excellent clarity, typical of the style at SRM 20. The head builds moderately and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation appears measured, creating a gentle visual texture without aggression.

◌ Aroma

Coffee dominates the nose immediately—roasted, slightly earthy, with underlying notes of cocoa and hazelnut. Light toasted malt grounds the composition, while subtle caramel sweetness and bready grain notes emerge on closer inspection. The hop character remains restrained, allowing adjuncts and grain to lead.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and approachable, with coffee bitterness melding seamlessly into roasted malt flavors. Mid-palate reveals layers of caramel, hazelnut, and toast without heaviness; the 24 IBU bitterness integrates cleanly rather than asserting dominance. Mouthfeel remains light and drinkable throughout, never cloying.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and relatively short, fading with lingering coffee and toasted malt notes. No astringency or harshness—the aftertaste remains pleasant and inviting, encouraging another sip.
