Moosejaw Blonde Bock

Growler courtesy of Skyview. Dark copper color with a thin head. Aroma of Noble hops and chocolate. Very sweet malt taste with some wheat in the background. Some caramel.

Thanks to skyview for sharing. Sweet syrupy nose on this dark brown pour with creamy white head. Vanilla on th nose with a watery wheat body.

From Skyview’s growler. One of the better bocks I have had anywhere. Tons of vanilla in the aroma, and sweet malt is a secondary though. A light orange, cloudy appearance. Flavor has caramel, sweet malt, and more vanilla. Thick and heavy on the palate.

On tap at the brewpub in Wisconsin Dells, pours a coppery brown brew with an average off-white head that dissolves to a fine lacing. Aroma of caramel, maple syrup, vanilla, and a touch of cotton candy. Taste is full body, lightly carbonated, sweet and a honey sweet aftertaste. Finish is smooth and creamy. Probably the best of all 10 sampled at the brewpub which rendered a growler order. Well done Jamie!

Dark golden with a small white head. Caramel, toasty grains, lemon peels, tangerine aroma. Diacetyl country: butterscotch is very heavy, rounded out by corn pollen and a light, crisp hoppiness. Finish is rather alcoholic.

I enjoyed this beer the most out of the 10 beer sampler I had. Euro-lagerish aroma, but faint. Light amber in color with a small, white ring of head and no visible carbonation. Not much lace either. After drinking 8 Moosejaw samples prior to this one, the Blonde Bock really provided a Wow! factor in the flavor department. Sweet and heavier in alcohol as a bock should be. Quite true to the style. The only knock I had was that it was a little cloying, but really a good effort overall.

Clear pale bronze in color with some white, thin splotches for the head. Aroma is distinguishable from the rest of this brewery’s line-up, accentuated with pine and residual hopping. Creamy palate hit. Chocolate and toffee kick things off. Vanilla extract and maple sweetness, along with some honey thrown into the mix. Christmas tree needles. Warming finish, and one of this brewery’s bests.

Copper, no head. The nose is faint hops taste is mellow, copperish and finishes quite malty. Did have a presence with alcohol that was in and out. Not bad overall.
