The medium bitter flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. A lovely flavor, bread crust and caramel. To top in all, it is very tasty but somewhat sweet. And I think very perfect sample of the style, a very well done beer and a well balanced. Try to paired with delicate cuisine and seafood, it proved a bit overpowering and enough to stand up to rich entrees and sauces.
