Profiled by Maria Devan
Pours dark brown with a tan creamy head that clings and leaves lace.
Nose is coffee, light brown sugar, dark fruit, nuts and caramel. Light pepper from hops.
Taste is mellow as some bold coffee without bitterness comes across the palate smooth and with the nutty taste of caramel. Low diacetyl presence. Soft creamy mouthfeel shows you roasty malt and a dry-ish finish. Light cream to lingers with firm caramel as hops balance the beer perfectly with a moderate bitterness.
