James Page Northern Lights Bock

Formerly brewed at Stevens Point Brewery
Style: Dunkler Bock
Stevens Point, Wisconsin USA

No real aroma to this - has a nice thick white head with a lot of lacing. Light copper colored appearance. The flavor was not as malty as most bocks - tastes and feels more like an amber lager. Smooth drinking though - goes down well - stays strong to the finish. Would be good for session purposes.

Heavy amber color with a small lid of antler colored suds. Sweet caramel malt and brown sugar aroma. Hints of alcohol and mild floral/dry grass hops. Sweet malty start with a buttered toast finish. In between there are some light fruits (raisins, pears and peaches). Not to heavily fruity to distract. Thick feel on the tongue, but light on the finish. Mildly acidic in the late finish which helps cleanse some of maltiness away and leaves you with a dry finish for the style. Kudos to slikwily for forwarding this one on to me. A very drinkable bock.

Medium dark amber with a slight brown tint to it as far as color goes.Small off white head with a fine lacing on the side of the glass.Malty sweet aroma with a mild hint of hops.Slight hint of lemon or lemon grass as well.Sweet malty taste,mild citrus to it with a nice hop presence.The alcohol what ever the strength is must be a rough guess in the 5-7 ABV range but it does show up in the taste,just not in a harsh way.The after taste was pretty decent with a malty mildly sweet taste,with the hops coming in to give a slight bitterness to it.This is another fine brew from these people and with a little luck they will make more as time goes on.
