◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately welcoming, dominated by ripe blueberry and mixed dark berry aromatics layered beneath Madagascar vanilla warmth and soft cinnamon spice. Beneath these prominent fruit and spice notes lies a gentle honey sweetness and subtle background of malt that grounds the composition without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced vanilla and berry character, where crushed cinnamon sticks contribute a gentle warming spice across the mid-palate. Honey sweetness balances the fruit notes, while the low IBU count of 13 ensures minimal bitterness, allowing the adjuncts to shine through with a clean, refreshing quality that maintains smooth drinkability.

◑ Finish
