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

Aroma de lúpulo de média-baixa intensidade, resinoso. Aroma maltado de baixa intensidade, trazendo leves notas tostadas. Fermentação limpa. No geral, aroma de intensidade e riqueza abaixo do esperado.

Coloração marrom muito escuro com tons granada. Opaca, sem turbidez. Espuma bronzeada de alta formação e boa retenção.

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

Sabor torrado no primeiro plano, de intensidade moderada, e que persiste no final seco. Amargor alto, intensificado pelo torrado. Sabor de lúpulo baixo, abaixo do definido no estilo, e quase que completamente dominado pelo torrado.

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

Corpo médio-baixo. Carbonatação médio-baixa. Não tem textura cremosa nem aquecimento alcoólico.

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

A cerveja não tem defeitos de fabricação relevantes, mas está bastante fora do estilo. O lúpulo é poquíssimo perceptível, e muito dominado pelo caráter torrado, que tem intensidade acima da esperada, diminuindo bastante a drinkability. Sugiro uma revisão de ambos os pontos (lúpulo e torrado) na receita.
