- Aroma: Rich maltiness with dark fruit (figs, raisins, plums), caramel, toffee, and subtle spice.
- Taste: Complex flavors of dark chocolate, caramelized sugar, dried fruit, and roasted malt, balanced with spicy yeast and mild hop bitterness.
- Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, smooth, and slightly warming due to the high alcohol content.
