Bracia

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to dark brown in color, with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent tan head that displays strong lacing on the glass. The body is full and velvety in appearance, suggesting the richness to come on the palate.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dark stone fruits—plum and raisin—layered beneath notes of milk chocolate and subtle licorice. Alpine honey and roasted hazelnut emerge as the beer warms, adding depth and a gentle floral sweetness that balances the darker malt character.

◐ Geschmack

A smooth entry reveals concentrated dark fruit, cocoa, and roasted nut flavors, with the Alpine chestnut honey providing a rich counterpoint to subtle bitter notes. The palate is full and velvety, with moderate bitterness (35 IBU) adding definition without harshness; the 10% ABV sits comfortably in the background, warming rather than dominating.

◑ Abgang

A long, warming finish with lingering notes of chocolate, licorice, and hazelnut. The alcohol heat emerges gently in the aftertaste, inviting contemplation rather than demanding attention.
