◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and full-bodied, dominated by banana and honey sweetness that unfolds across the mid-palate with supporting caramel and nutty complexity. Chocolate and cocoa notes rise gently toward the finish, while the low bitterness (20 IBU) allows the malt character to lead throughout without restraint.
