◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent dark chocolate and roasted grain, anchored by a distinctive liquorice character that sets this beer apart.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and rich, with liquorice sweetness providing a creamy foundation that complements rather than overwhelms. Chocolate and coffee flavors weave through the mid-palate, balanced by restrained roasted and smoky notes that prevent cloying. The 35 IBU bitterness is gentle, allowing the malt complexity to shine without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is remarkably soft and lingering, with the liquorice and chocolate fading gradually into a gentle roasted aftertaste. No astringency or harshness; instead, a warming, malty sweetness persists on the palate, inviting another sip.
