Pathos has a slightly burnt malt aroma. However it’s balanced on the sweet side with a massive chocolate profile that has hints of toffee and caramel. Moderate earthy hop aromas help guide the senses to the chocolate experience. The flavor is forward driven by chocolate and minor flavors of burnt, roasty malt characters. Because of the rich chocolate nature, the aftertaste is somewhat drier than actual but a lingering sweetness does carry out the finish. Moderate hop bitterness helps balance out the richness of the chocolate flavor allowing several dimensions of flavors to come through.
