Saramagal Thinker
Brown Ale 5.5 º
Saramagal Thinker is an evocative British Brown Ale that explores the deeper side of the style. Crafted with three distinct malts, it leads with a rich, malt-forward sensory profile featuring notes of sponge cake and raw cereals. While the style typically avoids heavy roast, this interpretation introduces a distinctive torrefacto finish that adds intensity and depth. The use of English and Slovenian hops provides a soft, structured bitterness and an earthy, floral backdrop. With its notable body and honey-tinted dark amber hues, this beer offers a creamy, lingering experience that balances traditional British character with a more profound, author-driven intensity.
Appearance. Dark amber with brilliant honey-colored highlights; SRM approximately 18-20. Features a persistent, creamy, light tan head with excellent lacing and a clear to slightly hazy presentation.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring sweet malt notes of sponge cake, toffee, and raw cereal. A light, earthy hop aroma from the English varieties is present, complemented by a subtle, unexpected hint of roasted grain that adds depth without overpowering the primary sweet malt character.
Taste. The initial impression is malt-focused with flavors of toasted biscuit and light caramel. The mid-palate reveals a more intense character including a gentle roasted note. Bitterness is soft but noticeable, derived from earthy English and floral Slovenian hops. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering toasted aftertaste and a touch of torrefacto character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable presence and weight on the palate. Carbonation is moderate, providing a persistent creamy texture. Very light alcohol warmth is well-integrated for the 5.5% ABV, with no significant astringency.
