This strong beer will encourage reflection and retrospection. Resist temptations to judge yourself in a harsh manner, and instead, listen to the qualities of your heart - your good intentions, well meaning, care and consideration, and your open acceptance.
When your mind is too busy to figure out what’s next, take a moment to listen to the fullness of you that’s ever present in your heart.

440ml can.
L: Slightly hazy, golden colour with many streams of micro bubbles and a thick, rich head that leaves sheets of lacing.
S: A touch of honey, a trace of white wine vinegar.
T: Rich, bready, pale malt. Semi-sweet, boozy yet also lightly floral.
F: Thick and oily mouthfeel with a dry, hot & alcoholic finish.
O: A big, bold, chewy but nicely balanced bock. Lovely stuff.

Pours a clear dark yellow with thick head that leaves thick curtains of lacing on the glass.
Smell is malty and a bit sweet with some floral hints. Notes of rye, grapefruit, Saltines and corn snacks.
Taste is malty, sweet and intense. Slightly boozy, but controlled. Notes of crackers, wheat dough, citrus, rye and some floral hints. Moderate bitterness.
Mouthfeel is medium, smooth and well carbonated.
Overall, a terrific bock, straddling the line of too much, but just keeping it on the right side.

look: two finger smooth white head with very good retention and some lacing, beer is a rich golden colour with good levels of carbonation within.
smell: not too much going on but not unpleasant either, white bread and biscuit, caramel, honey, grass, hint of spice, herbal and floral, let’s see what happens.
taste: not too keen on this, white and brown bread, biscuit, really floral, vanilla, really quite sweet too, caramel and toffee and fudge, lightest bit of bitterness on the finish, slightly notable presence of alcohol, not great but not bad either.
feel: medium bodied, medium carbonation, smooth and drinkable and rich enough.
overall: a let down this one from cloudwater, pretty unremarkable stuff, could do without the horoscope as well.
