◐ Taste

Malty sweetness dominates the palate with notes of dark bread and light caramel, supported by a smooth, rounded body that avoids any astringency. The roasted character adds mild cocoa and chocolate depth without becoming bitter. Bitterness remains controlled at 28 IBU, finishing with crisp, dry restraint that keeps the beer refreshing.
