◌ Aroma

Roasted malt leads immediately, with a warm undertone of dark bread and caramel sweetness. Subtle dark fruit notes—plum and dried cherry—emerge beneath the roast, while hop extract adds a clean, herbal restraint without asserting green character.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied with roasted malt dominating the palate, building into biscuity, bread-like flavors mid-palate. Caramel and plum notes provide gentle sweetness, while the 22 IBU contribute measured bitterness that finishes clean rather than harsh. The body carries through without heaviness.

◑ Finish
