About
In 1890 the Companhia União Fabril Portuense das Fábricas de Cerveja e Bebidas Refrigerantes (CUFP) was founded in Porto. In 1926 Super Bock beer was introduced and received a trademark in 1927. In 1975, after the Carnation Revolution in 1974, the Portuguese brewing industry was nationalised. There followed a period of restructuring of the sector. In 1977 CUFP was transformed into Unicer - União Cervejeira E.P. The 1980s marked the change of Unicer E.P. to Unicer S.A., with the company moving from the public to the private sector. In 2017 Unicer became the Super Bock Group.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very light beer with a quite decent head. Very typical for the "cool" or "ice" tag, which usually means, that the poor beer has been derived all flavour, smell, body - the lot. What’s left is a hint of bitterness and loads of carbonation. Typical summer-beer. 100603

Bottled. Great looking pitch black beer with a brown head. The aroma is dark chocolate and coffee, the flavour is again loaded with chocolate and coffee. Overall a nice smooth stout.

Bottle: Poured a yellow color lager with medium head and no retention. Aroma is crisp but with some easily detectable skunk aspect to it. Taste is your average macro lager plus the skunk feels that is probably due to transport or storage. I guess this is just another crap lager… more super crap then super bock!

Black color; poor head. Some caramel aroma, more like a Dunkel. Also tastes like a typical Dunkel (forget the Stout!), with some caramel, roasted malt, residual sweetness, low bitterness. Poor.

A very dark red beer with a collapsing light brown head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of caramel. The flavor is just sweet with notes of caramel and a dry end. The mouthfeel is flat.

Dark ruby, almost opaque color. Small coffee head. Aroma is toffee-sweet with some chocolate. Medium-bodied, chocolaty sweet, slightly roasted. Mouthfeel good be fuller. So far, the best Portuguese beer I’ve had.

Dark ruby with nice creamy off-white head. Aroma is malty and slightly roasted. Smooth but watery palate, taste has lots of sugar and toffee. Aftertaste lightly malty and sugary. Not unpleasant but quite plain.
