Tasting Notes

Appearance

Deep amber to light brown, transparent and brilliantly clear. A generous, creamy head forms and maintains excellent lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a soft visual presence befitting the beer's smooth character.

deep amberclearcreamy headpersistent lacing

Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced caramel and Malz character—a sweet, biscuity foundation with distinct toffee undertones. Subtle toasted grain and a whisper of dark fruit emerge in the background. Alcohol warmth is present but restrained, integrated rather than sharp.

Taste

Full-bodied and smooth on the palate, with caramel sweetness and Malz depth as the primary structure. Toasted and bready notes develop through the mid-palate, lending complexity without astringency. Bitterness is restrained (25 IBU), allowing the malt profile to dominate; alcohol warmth surfaces gently on the back of the tongue.
