Meteora

◎ Aussehen

Deep red-amber hue with excellent clarity, revealing the two years of barrel maturation. A thick, tan head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass in fine lacing. The body appears dense and syrupy, suggesting substantial residual sweetness and alcohol warmth.

◌ Aroma

Sweet molasses and brown sugar dominate the nose, with supporting notes of caramel and dark chocolate. Dried fruit character emerges—raisins and dates—layered underneath vanilla and oak from extended barrel aging. The alcohol is present but integrated, lending a gentle warmth without sharp volatility.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with rich candied sweetness—brown sugar and caramel-chocolate confections coat the mouth immediately. Mid-palate carries stone fruit and raisin complexity alongside a full malty foundation. Moderate bitterness (50 IBU) arrives in the center, providing necessary balance without overwhelming the sweet-forward character.

◑ Abgang

Long, warming finish with lingering sweetness and chocolate notes. Subtle oak tannins and alcohol warmth persist gently on the palate, encouraging further reflection rather than quick dismissal.
