Roasted grain and cocoa dominate the nose, with secondary notes of brewed coffee and a subtle earthiness. The aroma is broad and inviting without aggressive alcohol heat. Toasted malt character frames the darker roasted elements.

Taste

Entry brings immediate roasted grain character, followed by chocolate and coffee in the mid-palate. The body is full and smooth, with balanced bitterness at 45 IBU that complements rather than dominates. Slight dark fruit undertones emerge beneath the primary roasted notes.
