◌ Aroma

The nose reveals a warming alcohol presence befitting its 19% ABV, accompanied by soft grain and caramel malt notes from the imported European malts. Herbal and floral undertones from the noble hops emerge subtly beneath the malt-forward character. The overall aromatic profile is restrained rather than assertive, allowing the alcohol warmth to develop gradually.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with an initial sweetness from the malt base that provides backbone to support the high alcohol content. Mid-palate develops mild bittering from the 35 IBU, offering balance without aggression. The finish carries lingering sweetness with a gentle warming sensation that builds through the aftertaste.
