BOTW Neptune Bock. Described as a strong German lager, which at 6.5% it is with maltiness noted by the governor at the Old Bank House. It is malty and there aren't any real hints of bitterness but it's so cleverly done that the strength is disguised and I wasn't overwhelmed by sweetness. Never had anything quite like this on cask but hope to again. Excellent.
