Coarsely dry nut-bound medium body brings peanut-shelled walnut char and chicory coffee roast to ashen hop bittering. Raw-honeyed maple molasses sapping thickens ancillary brown-sugared chocolate malting and tertiary tar-like astringency. But advertised ‘spicy citrus bitterness’ lacks pep as a hybridized adjunct, leaving blackened grain roast to fend off latent charcoal acridity.
