Uber Bock
Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company (Downtown)

On tap, poured into a 12 oz snifter.
According to the bartender, it is a "triple bock".

Clear, bright reddish brown, with a thin tan head that unfortunately does not hold very well. The color is beautiful, it would be outstanding with a long lasting head.
Clean aroma and flavor; straight out malty sweetness, with a very slight hoppy note underlying.
Nearly full bodied, more sweet than anything, but never cloying.
Not exactly complex, but quite pleasant and satisfying; very easy to drink.

 

2019 release has a little bit more dark stone fruit, less caramel.

Stopped at the Wausau tap room on 4/7/18. Was happy to find this beer still on tap. Had a full pour, liked it so much I bought 2 crowlers for home. Noticed immediately the difference in the head and head retention. Nice fine malty head that lasted a while leaving plenty of lacing. Dark deep amber color on the body that is slightly hazy releasing fine bubbles for a long time after pouring. Taste has much more stone/dark fruit. I do notice a little more toasted malt also. Still plenty of sticky sweet caramel. The more it warms up the more you can taste the alcohol which tastes good with the deep dark fruit flavor. Barrel aged almost without the barrels. Impressive beer.

Below is first review on 2/13/18
numbers 4/3.75/4.25/4/4 overall 4.04
10 % ABV, Feb. 2018 Batch. Tested from a 32 oz crowler.
Pours a transparent Deep dark redish amber, Nice Tan head that dissipates rapidly with fizzing and popping leaving no lacing.

Smell? not much smell. Mostly alcohol and sweet caramel

taste? Some roasted malt, Maybe a hint of dark fruit and bread. But mostly Sticky sweet caramel. You can taste the alcohol more than you can feel it. kinda of a straight shot simple beer. A big beer that is very smooth considering the ABV, The finish has a little bit of a Rum Brandy flavor.

Hard beer to rate since beers like this are a rare breed. If you want a high ABV sweet caramel beer this is the beer for you.
