◐ Taste

The palate arrives full and rich, with bold roasted and kilned malt flavors dominating the entry. Coffee and chocolate notes build through the mid-palate, joined by pronounced oak and vanilla character from barrel aging. Moderate bitterness from both malt and hops provides structure, while the high alcohol (12.1% ABV) adds warmth and a slight spirituous quality that persists throughout.
