Gluek Honey Bock
January 7th thru January 13th
Brewer's Description
This special bock beer is handcrafted with the combination of special toasted malts and the finest hops and with a touch of honey is very well balanced. Honey is evident in the aroma, (yet not overpowering), but harmonious with the Bock's malty and bready aromas. The Gluek Honey Bock appearance is a light reddish amber to copper color, bright clarity, off-white persistent head. This bock has a medium/light to medium body, with a gentle creaminess, moderate carbonation, with a smooth moderately crisp finish and has a bit of alcohol warming.

slickrick says Taking me to a place… I’ve already imagined
January 11th, 2008
At first sight I noticed it’s frothiness, it replied with a beseeching gaze. It was definitely dark, although with a tinge of redness, yet not too thick–it must know me quite well! After exchanging glances I finally took it by the glass and sipped from its heaving… okay, enough with the starry-eyed allusions. Upon further examination I found the Gluek Honey Bock very tasty, delicious even. It was savory yet not as strong and filling as it appears (I enjoy most beers light in colored and wheaty). Having my fair share of Gluek beers I can definitely say that every one has been well-rounded, tasty and… expected. In every way it meets expectations but in those same areas it doesn’t kick it up a notch. Although not from the land of the rising sun it can be compared to a Toyota: always reliable, logical but never innovative. But just like most weekends that’s exactly what I need.
