Commercial Description:
Creata nel 1969 da Hans Leutner, mastro birraio del Birrificio Angelo Poretti, Bock Chiara doveva essere una birra di Natale. Grazie al suo immediato successo, invece, iniziò subito a essere prodotta stabilmente. Di grado alcolico piuttosto importante (alc. 6,5% vol.), Bock Chiara vanta un corpo rotondo e un aroma fruttato, bilanciati da un amaro deciso, ma non troppo accentuato. È densa e piacevole, con un finale erbaceo. È ottima nell’abbinamento con un caprino fresco che ne addolcisce il finale amaricante, ma anche su un classico formaggio Sancarlin (o Zincarlin, come viene chiamato sugli alpeggi tra il Lago di Como e il Lago di Lugano).<br /><br />Formerly known as Poretti Bock 1877 Chiara.<br />http://www.birrificioporetti.it

Bottled. Dark golden colour, mediumsized foamy white head. Fruity, alcoholic and foresty aroma. Flavour is grassy and alcoholic. Mouthdrying palate. Hoppiness becomes present in the finish and aftertaste.

Amber colour; thick malty palate and a dryish finish. Surprisingly big-bodied for a large brewery bock.

Golden colour, poor head. Some malt in the aroma, but too much watery taste; correctly bitter.

Dark honey color, small off-white head. Aroma is faintly fruity with weak alcohol, some rubber and sugar. Light, even watery for a bock. In the beginning not much alcohol found. Some grapefruit kind of bitterness in the finish. Aftertaste is grassy hoppy. Quite strange for a bock, but drinkable brew. Coud be a bit maltier.

Bottle@Spiesys. Nasty piece of work, flat, grainy, corny sweet flavour, very thin, some nasty chemicals.

Bottle@Home, Aug 08, 2.8: Sweet, malty, hint of apple. Dark yellow, beige head, good lace. Sweet, bitter, herbal, apples, rhubarbe. Thinnish. Drinkable, nothing special. Bottle@Home, Jul 04, 2.8: Strong sweet malty aroma. Golden color, white head, fair lace. Sweet, bitter, fruity, grapes, bit metallic. Quite full and a little sticky. Is this a bock or a european strong lager?

Beer #1 at Spiesy’s gathering. Curious stuff this. The extra alcohol is apparent in a Tennents Extra sort of way, but brings nothing else to the party. Dull, malty aroma. After that the bitter, citric palate comes as something of a surprise, but it’s still dull. If you want to drink a standard overseas pale lager, but get pissed quicker, this is the beer for you. Otherwise, quite pointless. Sure this is a bock? Drinkable. Bottled.
