Naughty & Nice

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, with a dense, tan head that builds and holds well, leaving fine lacing on the walls. The body is opaque and rich, with minimal light penetration; the carbonation is gentle and persistent.

◌ Aroma

Chocolate and roasted malt dominate the nose, with clear milk-chocolate character and undertones of dark roast. Subtle notes of coffee and dark fruit emerge on closer inspection, while oats contribute a soft, grainy warmth. Lactose adds a faint sweetness that rounds the overall impression.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with smooth chocolate sweetness, supported by creamy, full-bodied malt. Roasted barley and dark crystal contribute depth and a dry roast edge that balances the lactose-driven sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and restrained, allowing the indulgent malt character to remain front and centre throughout the mid-palate.

◑ Abgang

The finish is notably smooth and clean, with lingering chocolate and a subtle dry-roast aftertaste. No harsh edges or astringency; the lactose ensures a soft, rounded close.
