Cask at NWAF 2009. A pale amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and pumpernickle bread - reminds me of a bock. The flavor is sweet with notes of pumpernickle bread and hints of sulphur, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is light. OK - would be even better with more bock characteristics.
