Huber Bock Beer

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Dunkler Bock
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

Serve in Dimpled mug, Snifter

Smells of caramel and Munich malts with some discernable sugary characteristics. Color is the typical medium brown bock. Had on tap at the brewery and was served way too cold, and there was little flavor to the beer, so I let it warm in the glass while I redeemed and downed my other selections. After warming to about 45 degrees, the beer was much improved. Aroma wasn’t much different, but chocolate malts were more pronounced. Taste was true to style - chocolate and roasted malt flavor. Some chestnut and tobacco undertones. A descent poor man’s bock.

The three best words to describe the Huber Bock would be sweet, thick, and smooth. Very akin to dark molasses, with some coffee, spice, and nutty notes. Pretty good, but lacks depth and complexity. At $7 for a case, the price is great, an excellent fridge fill if you’re expecting a crowd!

Bottle. Dark brown ruby color, not much head to speak of. Initial sweet malts with hints of nuts and maybe a touch of chocolate and caramel. Just a little bit of hops at the end. Palate wise this stuff is kinda thin but the flavor is pretty damn inoffensive. The malt profile is quite smooth and not too sweet and no bitter coffee thing going on. I wasnt expecting much from this beer but it doesnt seem to bad for 7.99/12 bottles.

Great session beer and appropriately priced but I’d rather buy Sam Adams. Tasted this at a beerfestival and after hours of tastings I thought it was fantastic. In retrospect . . . not so good.

also $1 dollar at the u of c pub. and worth at least that much. i wouldnt go out of my way to seek it out, but for the price was a very nice brew i think my rating of it would be a bit lower if it had costed any more.

Okay, so the bar I was at had Huber Bock at $1 a bottle, how could I pass it up? I was thinking, huh, this’ll probably not be great, but for a buck, why the hell not? Anyway, I didn’t pour any, so I don’t know what it looks like, but it was dark through the bottle. Tasted sweet and somewhat chocolatey and nutty. Quite the bargain, I must say...

Huber bock is my standby cheap beer(only 6.99 a 12pk.),and that makes it about your best beer for the money. No it’s not the best beer in the world,or even the best beer at you local liquor store,but it’s got a nice malt character,and hops popping up too. The finish ends with some nut flavors being detected. Deep ruby apearance when held to the sun. Very enjoyable drink to have with a good sandwich.Woooohooo!

Dark brown color with no head. Sold malty aroma with a matching taste. Mild hops taste as well. It has a middle-of-the-road mouthfeel. Not nearly as bad as I thought it’d be.
