The aroma is malty up front with tones of, toast, bread, hay, roasted nuts, toffee and some caramel. The hop profile brings tones of grass and subtle herbs. The flavour is of bread, toast, mild caramel, nuts, hay, smooth milk chocolate fudge, grass, light herbs and light undertones of bread syrup. The mouthfeel is clean, soft, smooth, bit velvety, medium chewy and nothing less than perfect. Soft carbonation with small bubbles. The aftertaste is subtle and soft/velvety with hints of fudge/caramel, nuts and a tiny touch of hops. Medium bodied. A fantastic Bock, good job Grebbestad.
