Huber Bock

Tap to rate

Munich malt gives this bock a full body, and a deliberate, noticeable bitterness meets the aroma of that malt. Light Pilsner malt joins it in the grist. Master brewer Ludwig Stranzky's recipe is closely guarded, and the Bock starts from the highest original gravity of all Huber beers, which makes it a beer for special occasions.

Munich malt dominates the nose, delivering warm bread crust and subtle caramel notes without harshness. Light Pilsner malt contributes a clean, grain-forward backdrop.

◐ Taste

Full body carries the Munich malt's rich, slightly sweet character onto the palate. A deliberate, noticeable bitterness arrives mid-palate—neither restrained nor aggressive—and integrates well with the malt's depth rather than fighting it. The finish remains dry, allowing the bitterness and malt to trade emphasis without harsh edges.
