Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Medium amber gold; medium body, moderate legs
- Nose
- Baking spices, mellow oak, tea leaves. K yeast spice evident, subtle and contemplative
- Palate
- Rounded and warm — baking spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), caramel, cherry, brown sugar, gentle oak. Low-rye mash lets K yeast spice shine
- Finish
- Medium finish focused on spice — cinnamon, nutmeg, and oak carry through. Less fruit than OBSV, more baking-spice warmth
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
