◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent cinnamon and vanilla notes that define the character without becoming perfumy or artificial. Beneath these warming spices lie soft, rounded malt tones with subtle caramel undertones. The overall impression is inviting and festive, with no harsh alcohol vapors or oxidation.

◐ Taste

On the palate, vanilla and spiced warmth lead the entry, followed by a harmonious blend of sweet malt and gentle spice throughout the mid-palate. The 28 IBU provide sufficient grip to prevent cloying; bitterness remains subtle and supportive rather than assertive. The finish transitions cleanly toward a dry malt base with lingering spice.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and medium in length, allowing the malt foundation to emerge as spice fades. A pleasant dryness persists without harshness, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
