Marshmallow Pilgrim

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in the glass with a ruby translucence at the edges when held to light. A dense, tan head forms quickly and clings to the rim with fine lacing. Carbonation is moderate, releasing a steady stream of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Prominent roasted grain and dark chocolate notes form the base, with underlying campfire smoke and charred wood from the deep Malz character. Warm spice—cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg—rises through the middle, joined by subtle vanilla sweetness and a whisper of marshmallow. Mount Hood hops add a gentle herbal and slightly earthy frame without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied despite the moderate 5% ABV, with roasted malt sweetness and a hint of pumpkin pie spice complexity. Mid-palate develops layers of cinnamon and vanilla, balanced by restrained bitterness (25 IBU) and a subtle char that echoes the nose. Finish dries gradually, with spice lingering and the marshmallow note dissolving into cocoa.

◑ Finish

Medium finish with pleasant persistence; spice and cocoa fade slowly into a faint marshmallow sweetness and warm drying sensation. No sharp edges or harshness.
