Tooheys Old

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to nearly black brown, with excellent clarity despite the dark coloration. A modest tan head forms and recedes to a fine ring, leaving delicate lacing along the glass. Carbonation appears restrained, lending a calm, settled character to the pour.

◌ Aroma

Black malt dominates the nose, introducing roasted coffee and cocoa notes with subtle chocolate undertones. Behind these sits a whisper of caramel sweetness and the soft fruity esters typical of top fermentation, suggesting orchard fruit rather than citrus. Hopping remains quiet and restrained, allowing the malt profile to speak.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters smooth and lightly textured, with roasted malt and dark chocolate leading the way. Mid-palate develops a gentle caramel sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness; the body remains lithe throughout, avoiding heaviness. Bitterness is measured at 13 IBU, finishing clean without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short to medium, fading smoothly with lingering cocoa and a hint of roasted grain. No harsh edge or drying sensation; the aftertaste remains pleasant and malty.

Serviertemperatur 10–13°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.
