Hvid Bock

Tap to rate

A strong luxury beer, Hvid Bock is stored at a constant temperature around freezing for up to a year. A white ram drinking beer decorates its label. Older labels name the maker as Sophus Fuglsang Export-Maltfabrik & Bryggeri; a 50 cl can followed in May 2005, and a 2008 can carried a black bird and the words Kraftig Gylden Bock Øl.

◐ Taste

Entry is rich and full-bodied with a smooth malt foundation of caramel and toasted grain. Mid-palate develops honeyed sweetness that balances the reserved 25 IBU bitterness, while the 7.6% alcohol sits integrated rather than hot, lending a warming depth that extends through the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming, with lingering caramel and a gentle alcoholic heat that reflects the beer's strength. Aftertaste remains malt-sweet without cloying, inviting another sip.
