◐ Taste

The palate is full and velvety, leading with caramel sweetness that persists through the mid-palate without cloying. Roasted malt provides backbone and a hint of chocolate earthiness. A pleasant, measured bitterness emerges in the finish, creating balance without overwhelming the sweet, malty foundation.
