New Glarus Uff-da Bock

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

12oz bottle. Thick, dark amber-brown color. Foamy beige head which fades out. Sweet pungent dark malt aromas, some raisin and fig perhaps. The taste is rich but smooth. Lots of chocolate and dark malt flavors, some capturing the darker Brown Ale characteristics. This is a great American Bock beer, which could easily hold it’s own against a quality German example. A great beer, underrated.

Bottle. Rich and dark amber pour and a little bit of carbonation. Very pleasant malty and slightly cherry aroma. Flavor was also malty, caramel and some chocolate. A little warming on the finish. Another solid NG brew.

Another gem from noncaloric. Damn generous trader. Pours a dark brown with a really nice light tan head. Aroma is full of sweet malt, roasted malt, chocolate, fruit and some caramel. Flavor has a facefull of malt. Both sweet and roasted. Toffee notes are present and some light chocolate is noticeable as well. This is a fun and delicious beer. Good stuff.

(bottle) Pours dark brown with reddish tinges and a small off-white head. Aroma is really great, and possesses everything one would look for in a bock. Lightly toasted malt, sweet chocolate, significant tart cherry, and even a hint of must. This strong cherry scent really sets it apart from other bocks. The taste is lightly tart, toasted, and sweet, which combines into something great and extremely sessionable. The tastes are tart cherry again, chocolate, and a light roasted coffee on the finish. Medium mouthfeel with just a touch too much carbonation. This is really good, and is yet another winner from New Glarus.

Bottle, hardly any head, a nice mouth feeling but hardly any of the bock taste I was a bit let down.

Bottle, pours a red-brown body with a two-finger, creamy, beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, toffee, and a hint of coffee. Flavor of sweet malts, cocoa, and molasses with an undertone of dark fruit and prunes. Medium bodied with a sweet fruit finish.

Aroma is musty, but sweet. Pours dark dark brown with offwhite head. Notes of coffee, chocolate, and just a hint of molasses. Hits the palate with a slightly sour, but refreshing palate.

Bottle. Pours a brown color with a medium beige colored head. Aroma is dark fruit, molasses, malt. Flavor is molasses, brown sugar, raisin, caramel. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finished sweet. Greta stuff.
