◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced toasted malt and caramel sweetness, underscored by earthy, bread-like notes. A subtle roasted undertone emerges beneath the malt character, with hints of dark dried fruit providing depth. The hop presence remains restrained and noble, allowing the Malz profile to dominate.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, malty sweetness and pronounced caramel notes that build through the mid-palate. Roasted grain and bready character provide structure without heaviness, while the body remains smooth and full. Bitterness is gentle and supportive at 22 IBU, finishing with a clean, dry impression that cuts through the malt sweetness.
