Wholesome Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown colour with an opaque, impenetrable body characteristic of the style. A dense, tan head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass walls with fine Schaumkleiden. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to the smooth mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

Roasted barley dominates the nose with pronounced coffee and cocoa notes that build as the beer warms. A smoky undertone weaves through, accompanied by earthy, nutty character from well-developed grain and restrained hop aromatics. The overall effect is dry and inviting without harshness.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with full-bodied roasted grain and bitter coffee notes that develop into subtle chocolate and dark fruit complexity mid-palate. Hop bitterness is pronounced yet balanced, contributing a dry, assertive character without overshadowing the malt foundation. The mouthfeel remains smooth and creamy despite the substantial bitterness.

◑ Abgang

A lingering dry finish with persistent coffee and roasted notes. Bitterness carries through the aftertaste, leaving a clean, mineral quality on the palate.
