Futurism is an elegant Czech Dark Lager that showcases the rustic, nutty depth of Bohemian Dark Floor Malt. Pouring a deep mahogany with garnet highlights, it offers an inviting aroma of toasted bread crusts and light cocoa, accented by a faint hint of spicy noble hops. The extended nine-week lagering period results in an exceptionally smooth, clean profile. On the palate, complex layers of caramel and mild coffee emerge, balanced by a gentle bitterness that prevents the malt richness from becoming cloying. It remains light on its feet despite its dark hue, finishing with a crisp, slightly sweet malty linger.
Appearance.Deep ebony with distinct garnet highlights (SRM 25-30). Crowned by a dense, persistent, tan-colored head that leaves fine lacing. Clarity is brilliant.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity of rich, bready malt. Notable notes of toasted crust and dark chocolate from the Bohemian Dark Floor Malt. Subtle spicy hop character and a very light ester profile reminiscent of dried plums.
Taste.Initial impression of deep, complex maltiness featuring layers of caramel, nuts, and sweetened coffee. Bitterness is moderate and well-balanced against a light residual sweetness. Low spicy hop flavor persists through the mid-palate. The finish is clean and smooth with a lingering toasted malt aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a noticeably smooth and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, contributing to a soft mouth-filling sensation. No perceptible alcohol warmth.
