COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Introduced in October of 1989, the bock style far exceeded original expectations. This micro-styled bock beer has a rich and full-bodied flavor while being creamy on the palate. The nose yields a fresh, malty aroma with a hint of caramel sweetness. Hop bitterness and aftertaste balance the sweetness and maltiness. Berghoff Bock is made with Brewer's Two-Row Malt, Carapils Malt, Caramel Malt, Black Malt and domestic hops.

Super dark red/black with very thin head. Dark caramel nose. Very nice roasty malt and lightly smoky flavor. Let me get out a cigar and sit out by the fire!

Dark colored nice malt coffee flavor. Berghoff is a very reasonably priced drinkable beer. Well balanced flavor, smooth. I like Berghoff very much and this is a very good beer. Deserves a better rating than its getting.

A very dark clean amber that has a medium but quickly fading off white head. Carbonation was big upon the initial pour but settled down after that. Nice looking beer. Aroma is pretty big malts, woody ash, light sour. Flavor is mildly tart malt, hints of cocoa and light smoke and caramel. I am impressed with this one. A nice basic bock.

This brew pours a medium head of finely sized mostly lasting very light brown colored bubbles that leave behind a poor lacing and a transparent dark brown colored carbonated bosy. The aroma is a very nice caramel malt one and the mouthfeel is smooth with a slight tingly "Brown" taste to its finish. The flavor is respectable but somewhat thin and needs more of what it already has just stronger. There are notes of caramel, malt, and slight hints of dark chocolate and mollasses. Still, a very nice brew.

’Famous’ Bock? I’ve definitely heard of Berghoff but not specifically Berghoff Bock. Anyway, enjoyed this brew on an unseasonably cool 4th of July evening at a Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Minor League baseball game. Has a faint, roasted malt aroma. Not much head, but pretty good lacing. A combination of medium hops and alcohol give this Bock some bite and enough character to make it interesting. Not a champion in its category by any means, but serviceable.

For $5.00 a sixer and the quality of the product, it is a definite casual-drinking brew worthy of any beer-drinking situation

Although the aroma of this brew is interesting, it's taste is a tad thin for a true bock. Still, it's tasty, affordable, and miles beyong most macro-brewed beers... I like it!
