Furious Gnome

◎ Aussehen

Medium amber with a warm, burnished copper hue characteristic of the style. The clarity is bright and clean, with good carbonation visible as a steady stream of fine bubbles. Head retention is firm and creamy, leaving delicate traces of lacing down the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with toasted biscuit and caramel sweetness, underpinned by a subtle roasted coffee character. Earthy and floral hop notes emerge behind the malt, along with faint suggestions of dark dried fruit—raisin and plum. The overall impression is warm and inviting, with the malt driving the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with rich, rounded malt sweetness—biscuit and caramel lead, followed by a gentle coffee-like roast in the mid-palate. Dark fruit notes of raisin and plum add subtle complexity without dominating. Earthy, floral hops provide a measured bitterness that balances the malt without asserting dominance, while the medium body remains smooth and well-integrated throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and gently drying, with the malt sweetness receding to reveal a subtle hop dryness. A lingering roundness persists without becoming cloying.
