Plum Pudding

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to near-black in the glass, with a dense foam head that settles into a thin tan collar. The liquid holds good clarity despite its dark hue, revealing ruby tones at the edges when held to light. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

Caramelised plum leads on the nose, backed by rich, dark malt character with subtle notes of vanilla and baking spice. A light roasted undertone emerges beneath the fruit, with hints of brown sugar and dried stone fruit. The overall impression is warm and dessert-like, inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with sticky, concentrated plum and brown sugar notes that coat the mouth pleasantly. Mid-palate reveals layered roasted malt and a faint vanilla sweetness, balanced by moderate bitterness and subtle earthy tones from the malt base. The 33 IBUs provide structure without dominating the adjunct-forward profile.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium-length, with plum and vanilla fading gradually into a dry, lightly roasted malt aftertaste. A gentle warmth from the 6.7% ABV lingers without heat or harshness.
