Vecchia Orsa Stout

◎ Aussehen

Jet black in color with virtually no light transmission, conveying the depth characteristic of a traditional stout. A dense, cappuccino-toned foam head forms at the pour and displays excellent retention and adhesion to the glass. The body appears full and opaque, with minimal carbonation visible as fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted malt and espresso notes, complemented by cocoa and a subtle licorice undertone. Dark molasses adds a sweet, earthy backdrop to the otherwise austere aromatic profile. The overall impression is one of complex roasted grain character without sharp or acrid edges.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and velvety, with roasted coffee and chocolate flavors establishing themselves immediately on the palate. Mid-palate develops deeper notes of dark molasses and licorice, while a persistent dry bitterness gradually emerges. The full body carries these flavors with authority, remaining creamy despite the drying character.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends long and dry, with lingering roasted grain bitterness and a slight licorice persistence. The aftertaste remains clean and composed, never becoming harsh or overly astringent.

Etwas wärmer als erwartet. 10–13°C lässt die gerösteten Malz-, Schokoladen- und Kaffeenoten vollständig entfalten.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
