A complex nose leading with toasted malt and caramel sweetness, complemented by earthy, spicy hop notes that suggest noble hop varieties. Dark fruit undertones and a subtle bread-like character round out an inviting, traditional German ale bouquet with excellent depth.

Taste

The palate opens with rich caramel and malty sweetness that transitions into a well-integrated 60 IBU hop bitterness in the mid-palate. A full-bodied, smooth character with earthy and dark fruit notes builds complexity, while the spicy hop finish provides balance and prevents cloying sweetness.
