Sensory Description:
This hybrid brown ale pours deep mahogany with a rich, creamy head. It opens with a decadent bouquet of toffee, milk chocolate, roasted nuts, and subtle hints of coffee. On the palate, layers of caramelized malt sweetness unfold alongside a balancing backbone of noble and American hop bitterness, delivering notes of earthy spice, cocoa powder, and toasted grain. The finish is smooth, slightly dry, and wonderfully balanced, inviting sip after sip.
