◐ Taste

The palate enters full-bodied and rich, with nutty and malty sweetness forming the backbone. Mid-palate reveals layered complexity: caramel, toasted bread, and subtle cocoa chocolate blend seamlessly. Bitterness remains restrained at 24 IBU, providing just enough balance without dominating the softer malt character.
