Dama Alaricana

This Alternative Grain Beer presents a rustic and inviting profile, centering on the addition of chestnut flour to a toasty base. The visual is a deep amber hue with a characteristic soft haze. On the nose, distinctive earthy and nutty aromas from the chestnuts meld seamlessly with notes of baked bread and light caramel. The palate follows suit, offering a delicate sweetness reminiscent of roasted nuts, balanced by a gentle hop bitterness and a hint of woodiness. A medium body and soft carbonation provide a smooth texture, finishing dry with a lingering, wholesome grain character that celebrates traditional Galician ingredients.

Appearance. Deep amber to copper-brown (14–20 SRM). Moderate off-white head with fair retention. Noticeable haze present due to the use of chestnut flour.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clear nutty and earthy presence from the chestnuts. Complementary notes of toasted bread, biscuit, and a touch of caramel from the malt. Low floral or spicy hop aroma. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial flavors of toasted grain and sweet chestnut. The chestnut flour contributes a unique starchy nuttiness that deepens the malt complexity. Low to moderate bitterness provides balance without overpowering the grain character. Finishes relatively dry with a slight lingering earthy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slightly creamy or rounded texture contributed by the chestnut starches. Moderate carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth, well-suited for its 5.4% ABV. Smooth and lacking astringency.
