Berghoff Famous Bock

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Dunkler Bock
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

Pours a semi clear brown colour with a small thin nutty tan head. Somewhat malty in the initial taste but midpalate evolves into a more satisfying yet average bock representation. nutty, with roasted malts and carmelly toasted taste.

pours dark brown with a mild hoppyness aroma the malty taste is quit fine but the alcohol content is quit weak for a bock, but overall not a bad brew probally wouldn’t buy it again but thats just me

Pours dark brown with ruby hues and a mostly receding off-white head. Taste of caramel, toffee, dark malt. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. Pretty drinkable and unoffensive.

12oz bottle. pours a rich chocolatey brown with orange edges. little to no head forms and quickly disperses. chocolate and graham cracker aroma with a touch of caramel. just a touch of sweet malt and then...not much of anything. fades quickly to decent finish of bittering hops. like most other berghoff beer, mediocre.

Tasted 11/22/07. 12oz bottle. Filtered yet with a dark brown hue. Tight ring of off-white head. Cocoa and caramel aromas with a slight undertone of typical lager olive saltiness. Toasty bready with cinnamon spices. Not too bad of a nose. Light to medium bodied with a moderate coffee flavor and acidity mixed with a sweet caramel and toffee flavor. Not a bad beer at all, just a touch thin. This would make a good backyard brew, but its still sub-session. Finishes mildly long with little on the hop side. Decently produced but nothing outstanding.

Appearance: Pours a clear, brown body with a small, fizzy white head. Smell: Very, very light aroma of toasty caramel and floral hops. Maybe a little chocolate in there, too. Taste: Light caramel maltiness with a pinch of cocoa powder and a hint of plum fruitiness. Some mild flowery hops appear before the exceedingly quick finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Watery. Drinkability: A rather misleading title, unless it’s famous for being thin on flavor and expressly watery.

On tap at the brewpub on 4/9/07: Pours a dark copper amber with a fairly full, frothy light tan head. Aroma of toasty, grainy sweet dark caramel malt and a touch of milk chocolate. Body starts with a good amount of dark German malt some mild bittering hops and a touch of milk chocolate toward the finish. A decent bock.
