Aroma Comment on malt, hops, esters, and other aromatics

7.5

Aroma maltado de média intensidade, lembrando achocolatado no primeiro plano e café com leite no segundo. O caráter maltado tem um aspecto mais para o tostado do que para o torrado, lembrando uma Munich Dunkel mais fraca. Sem aroma de lúpulo. Fermentação limpa.

Appearance Comment on color, clarity, and head (retention, color, and texture)

2.5

Coloração marrom muito escuro, quase preto, no limite do aceitável, com tons rubi ao fundo. Espuma bege de média-alta formação e média retenção.

Flavor Comment on malt, hops, fermentation characteristics, balance, finish/aftertaste, and other flavor characteristics

Sabor de malte de média intensidade, aqui sim trazendo notas torradas de chocolate e café. Amargor médio-baixo e baixo sabor de lúpulo herbal. Final seco e aspectos de fermentação lager ebm aparentes. O conjunto é bem equilibrado e o retrogosto traz tanto o amargor quanto o torrado.

Mouthfeel Comment on body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, astringency, and other palate sensations

Corpo médio. Carbonatação média. Suave no palato e bem atenuada.

Overall Impression Comment on overall drinking pleasure associated with entry, give suggestions for improvement

Uma cerveja que exemplifica o estilo muitíssimo bem, em especial no sabor. Equilíbrio entre torrado e amargor com perfil lager bem destacado e ótima drinkability. Principal ponto de melhoria seria no aroma, que ainda lembra muito mais uma Munich Dunkel do que uma Schwarzbier.
