Nosferatu

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to dark brown, with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent tan head that clings to the glass. The body is viscous and full, with a slight oily sheen indicative of the elevated alcohol content and barrel aging. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

Inviting nose of roasted coffee and espresso, supported by subtle oak vanillin and dried dark fruit notes from the sherry cask maturation. Beneath lies a warm, honeyed malt character with hints of toffee and caramel. The alcohol presence is warm but not sharp, adding a soft spiced complexity.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters smooth and full-bodied, with prominent coffee and dark chocolate notes that transition to caramel sweetness mid-palate. Sherry oak is present but refined, lending a silky texture and subtle tannin grip. Bitterness is restrained at 55 IBU, allowing the malt richness and warming alcohol to dominate without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with lingering coffee, dark caramel, and a whisper of sherry oak that fades gradually into a gently warming alcoholic fade. No sharp edges or astringency—only a creamy, dignified conclusion.
