Rich, heavy, bursting with flavor this is a thick and oily beast. Bursting with fruits, honey, sourdough, and some weirder savory flavors this is a malt that grabs your attention and holds it all night. Not by some extreme measure either, it’s incredibly well balanced, complex, and overall a delicious treat to explore.
