Score: *4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Decent Bocky, breadey, slightly sweet malt nose with the slightest touches of alcohol and sulfer but very little head. Slightly hazed amber body is quite lovely but the lack of head retention still kinda bugs me. Mouth feel is a bit on the thin side at first but becomes more substantial a bit after warming. White bread, sweet malt, slight berry, earthy and herbal hops. Finishes spectacular with tons of nuts and grassy herbs. Long lingering bread dough and a little alcohol for warming.
