◐ Taste

The palate delivers a rich, full-bodied experience with roasted grain and pecan nuttiness at the forefront, complemented by deep dark chocolate notes. Mid-palate reveals smooth caramel sweetness that balances the moderate bitterness (28 IBU), while coffee undertones add complexity. The finish leans slightly dry, preventing any excessive sweetness.
