Aroma

The nose reveals subtle roasted malt character with notes of dark bread and light cocoa, backed by clean lager yeast aromas. Restrained and elegant, avoiding heavy roast or coffee notes in favor of balanced malt complexity.

Taste

The palate delivers a smooth, creamy entry with dark malt sweetness and bread-like notes that build through the mid-palate. Moderate roasted malt complexity unfolds with hints of dark chocolate, leading to a well-integrated, dry finish with minimal bitterness despite the dark appearance.
