Night Watchman

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany brown to near-black, with a dense foam head that clings persistently to the glass walls. The beer is opaque and still, with a rich dark lacquer that catches light at the edges. Fine carbonation supports a structured, lasting head.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted grain and cocoa powder, overlaid with a subtle sweetness reminiscent of caramel and dark chocolate. Behind this comes a faint smokiness and a whisper of anise or liquorice, grounded by earthy, malty depth. The overall impression is warm and rounded, without aggressive hop character.

◐ Geschmack

Chocolate and oatmeal flavours dominate the palate, lending a smooth, creamy body that masks the modest 4.4% ABV entirely. Mid-palate reveals gentle caramel sweetness and a light smoky edge, while bitterness remains restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the roasted malts to speak. The finish carries a hint of coffee and dark fruit without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers gently with roasted, slightly smoky notes and a touch of liquorice complexity. Clean and dry without astringency, leaving the palate refreshed rather than fatigued.
