Paahteisen maltainen tuoksu. Maku on kevyen paahteinen ja maltainen. Voisi jopa sanoa raikkaaksi Brown Ale olueksi.

Maltainen kahvinen paahteinen pähkinää

Advent Calendar 2023, Day 1. Let's start cautiously, therefore a Brown Ale. Despite giving me an easy start, I happen to like Brown Ales, especially the imperial versions. This is, nevertheless, not imperial but a standard 5% brew. Oh yes. Relatively murky, deep dark mahogany beer. Like black coffee with a drop of milk. Lively carbonation builds a light beige head, like old paper. The texture is beautiful: billowy moussy. The retention lasts. And lasts... The nose loves the ample nuances: hazelnut, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, a whiz of lactose. A tiny roasty element lingers in the background. So far, so good. If I anticipate a sweet punch, the beer takes me in a different direction: the nutty component intensifies significantly while the chocolate dwindles. The cacao nibs are still present, not sweet, rather natural, crushed raw. Dark cookie, roasted malt, lactose, a whisper of vanilla and faint dry grass accompany the lead artists. The body measures light to light-medium. Not bad for the ABV. The finish is roasty, nutty and rich in raw cacao. Bids a soft farewell to my tastebuds. The mouthfeel is light or plus, soft, smooth, moderately roasty and fairly classical. Dryness is really marginal. Easy it is, I could sink several of these, especially together with food. Not a symphonic masterpiece but an enjoyable piece anyway.
