◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by inviting caramel and toffee notes with supporting undertones of roasted malts and fresh bread. Subtle nutty and earthy characteristics emerge beneath the surface, while a light spice note adds complexity without overwhelming the classic malt-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Chocolate and nutty notes develop gracefully, while gentle roast contributes subtle depth. The moderate 25 IBU bitterness provides excellent balance without dominating, allowing the malt complexity to shine through cleanly.
