Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to near-black color typical of the style, with a dense, creamy head that clings to the glass with good persistence. The body shows excellent opacity, with minimal light penetration. Fine carbonation supports a resilient foam collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted barley character—dark chocolate, charred grain, and subtle cocoa notes dominate. Beneath the roast lies a restrained floral hop presence that adds complexity without overshadowing the malt foundation. No fruit or yeast-derived esters intrude; the overall impression is clean and grain-forward.

◐ Geschmack

The palate delivers a smooth, rounded roasted malt profile with notes of bitter chocolate and a gentle coffee-like edge. The hop bitterness (40 IBU) is integrated rather than assertive, providing structure without harshness. A marked dryness develops mid-palate and carries through, leaving minimal residual sweetness—hallmark of a well-made dry stout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and persistently dry, with roasted grain lingering on the palate for several seconds. A subtle hop-derived astringency adds grip without becoming unpleasant.
