New Glarus Uff-da Bock

Brewed by New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: Dunkler Bock
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

Dark reddish brown pour. Weak, cherry aroma (didn’t catch much), probably because I didn’t have the right glass. Molasses and dark chocolate flavor. Bitterness grows slightly as the glass empties, with a long-to-diminish toffee finish. Quite creamy and easy to drink. A wonderfully subtle bock.

Poured dark brown with little head into my snifter. The initial smell was of malt, brown sugar and spices. The flavor was very full - chocolate, roasted malts, brown sugar and a light taste of caramel at the end. Very smooth going down. Another outstanding beer from New Glarus.

Pours a cloudy golden amber hue with a nice frothy white head. Aromas of spice, a litle skunk and some brown sugar. Flavors of the same, yet smooth and creamy going down. Very nice bock...

12 oz bottle thanks to Santa. Decent head on this brown pour. Aromas were spice and molassas. Flavors made me think of a dopplebock. Rich and smooth, chocolate, toffee, more spice. Very tasty stuff.

Dark reddish copper. No head. Aroma of cinnamon, molasses and cookies. Some Christmas spice and dry chocolate in the flavour with a caramel base. A nice dark spiced lager.

12oz bottle as a bonus in a trade with robertsreality - Thanks Rob! - Pours dark brown with ruby highlights. A huge creamy tan head graces the top and laces on the way down the glass. Aroma is nice creamy chocolate, some toffee, coffee, roasted peanuts, and caramel. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts. A nice lingering roasted malt finish. The real flavor comes out as this warms. It becomes much sweeter. Palate is rich creamy and smooth. Very nice brew.. I enjoyed this one much while watching tonight’s hockey game..

12 oz bottle via trade w/ 1FastSTi. Poured a clear mahogany with a fleeting off-white head. Slightly sour in the nose with alcohol, toffee, and dark fruits. Malty and evenly balanced, some oxidation in the finish. Medium bodied, just shy of cloying mouthfeel. Not bad overall, but nothing standout. Improved as it warmed from cellar to room temp.

A crystal clear ruddy brown pour, with ruby fringes and an opulent thin coarse tea-stained head. Aroma of caramel, light toast, a touch of kringle, some walnuts and a dash of worcestshire. Rich toasted malty goodness, heavy doses of warm roasted nuts, hazlenuts and macadamias. A freshly baked portugese loaf fresh from the wood-fired oven. Rolling oats and wheat tones, with a lucious wave of brown sugar and a hint of molasses. Tart euro hops dry this brew a bit. Finish is sweet and clinging, with aftertones of frangelico and kahlua. Not burgeoning, not dazzling; a solid middle player. On par for the style for sure.
