◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced malty and grainy characteristics, featuring notes of toasted bread and subtle caramel sweetness. Clean lager yeast dominates without off-flavors, while the elevated ABV contributes a gentle alcohol warmth that enhances rather than overwhelms the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a rich, medium-to-full body and pronounced malt sweetness balanced by restrained bitterness (18 IBU). Mid-palate reveals bread-like grain character and caramel undertones, while the higher alcohol (6.2% ABV) provides noticeable warmth and smooth body without harsh astringency. The finish maintains crispness despite the beer's fuller structure.
