This is actually a very good bock. Surprise there, because this brewery is variable - some good some just OK. This is good.

It is good in all categories, especially appearance and aroma. For the style, it is exceptional in those categories. The taste is also uniquely good - sweet and malty with lots going on.

The aftertaste is also quite good. Overall this exceeds expectations and if I were looking for a good bock to read this would be a recommended author!

look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

12oz bottle poured into a snifter.

A: Pours a clear golden amber with a 1 finger white head. A decent amount of carbonation visible in the body. Head fizzles away to a thin ring in a few minutes.

S: Sweet malt with hints of raisin and fig. Almost a cherry or apple aroma as well.

T: Has a semi-dark fruit flavor with a slight roasty malt. Some bitterness in the backend. Just tastes a little off.

M: Light body and carbonation. Feels a little slick and oily.

Overall feels like it falls a little short of the goal. Best part is the brewery and name.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

12 oz bottle poured at cellar temp into a snifter,

The beer pours a bright clear gold to copper hue with fizzy bleached white head foaming up 1 cm and fading to a thin edge layer in a rapid fashion.
Aroma is grainy, caramel malt with some general sweetness and hints of spicy hops mixed in the background.
First sip reveals a slightly sticky textured brew with average body. Carbonation is mild and rolls across the palate easily on each sip.
Flavor is malty and fairly sweet witch caramel dominating I also get some spicy hops on the finish that linger a bit and dry out the palate.
No hint of ABV on bottle or in the sampling. A decent brew that is sweet but not cloying. Very easy to drink and enjoyable.

Picked this up in Cudahy, WI at Pick-N-Save. It's a twist-off, has a pretty solid carbonation.

A- clear golden hue, about a finger's worth of head that goes away pretty quickly.

S- sweetness from malt dominates the aroma. Not a strong-point but not bad. Honey, mixed with something bitter but not floral.

T- On the sweeter side of traditional bocks. Well balanced. Would have been a 5 if it was a little punchier on the aftertase. Last year's batch wasn't as flavorful.

M- very drinkable and smooth! Carbonation is a big plus, and it coats the mouth as promised by its description.

Overall, this is a big improvement over last year's batch of Baby Got Bock. I live near Milwaukee and talked to the Brewmaster who said they reformulated this beer. Haven't had it on draft yet but I will definitely look for it.

Pours a very clear light brown color. Kind of an odd color with very little carbonation and almost no head. What head there was disappeared in moments.
Smell does not have much going on with it at all.
Taste completely through me for a loop. With not much of a look and no smell, I was surprised to have so much taste! A lot of really strong caramel and toffee tastes to this bock. A bit of hops gives it balance and even a bit of a ginger taste.
Mouthfeel has a nice thickness to it. Very good thickness for a bock and very smooth too.
Drinkability is very nice on this beer. A normally do not like bocks very much at all. Horny Goat's offering has very strong tastes to it and a lot going on. I really like this offering and would definitely seek out this one again.

12 oz twist off bottle as part of a sampler pack, poured into a pint glass.

A: Decent amber orange color. FIzzy white head. No lace.

S: Malt, old apples, alcohol. Strange.

T: Very strange here too. Bock? No. A little sour apples, honey, corn, unripe melon. This is not good.

M: Thin, over carbonated.

D: Why?

3.08/5  rDev -9.1%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

Appearance: pours a orange color with a one inch head that slowly falls to a spotty surface foam.

Smell: caramel and some fruit sweetness rise from the glass.

Taste: nice malty base with caramel, ripe apples, earthy tones, and some grassiness. Bitterness is moderate.

Mouthfeel: medium bodied. Lightly crisp to start, smooth to finish. Short lived aftertaste.

Overall: not an overly exciting bock, but it hits the spot when you want a malty beer.

Since I am adding this and was unsure, I asked the brewer, this is his response:

In regards to your question about Baby Got Bock, our bock is a traditional Bock, not a Maibock. Baby Got Bock has a sweet malty finish with low aroma hops. Maibocks tend to be heavily hopped and pale. I hope this answers your question.

Cheers,

Dave Reese




Clear, darker-gold colored brew. Fair amount of rising carb bubbles, small but durable white head. Scent is mainly sweet lagered malts, just a hint of hops. Taste is alright, I'm getting some green-bottle notes from it however. Focus is on the malt, some grass, a touch of bitter hops. Pretty soft mouth, medium to full. Overall not bad, but whether its intentional or not, the green-bottle taste (and its not sold in a green bottle, but you know what im talking about) takes it down a notch.
