◐ Taste

The palate opens with rich caramel and bread-like malt sweetness, quickly developing into assertive hop bitterness that defines the mid-palate. Full-bodied and warming, with roasted undertones and lingering dark fruit complexity. The 80 IBUs provide excellent structure without overwhelming the nuanced malt foundation.
