Commercial Description:
Keg and bottle: Filtered.
First brewed in 2005.
Ingredients: Finest barley malts, wheat malts, and fresh whole hops.
Bock beer, released in celebration of the arrival of spring, is an ancient and mysterious part of the brewing tradition. Over time, the term "bock" has come to mean a beer darker and stronger than the brewery’s regular brew. This is the first time we have brewed a bock at Anchor Brewing Co., and we hope you will find it to be a rich and flavorful addition to our offerings. San Francisco’s Anchor Bock Beer is virtually handmade by the brewers of Anchor Steam® Beer, in one of the most traditional small breweries in the world.

Pours a very dark reddish brown. Nice fluffy beige head. Aroma is very sweet roasted caramel and chocolate malt. Flavor is very robust and sweet. Very caramel with some vanilla and honey notes. There seems to be a tiny bit of fruitiness in the finish as well. Medium-full body and a nice thick mouth feel. Very nice all around

12oz. Bottle: Malty aroma with scents of caramel, a little fruitiness, and some nuts. Poured dark brown/dark red/dark purple in color with a medium-sized, creamy, rocky, beige head that shrank but lasted throughout. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes very malty with notes of nuts, wood, honey, grains, and a hint of dark ripe fruits. Medium to full body. Thick, creamy texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, malty finish.

Pours dark brown almost black with a good sized tan head. Plenty of tan lacings. Aroma is of roasted malts. Taste is mild soy and molasses, nice amount of bitter hops. Well balanced brew. Not one I will drink daily but very enjoyable as a change of pace. Good job Anchor!

12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine. Pours a dark brown color with a light tan head. Aroma is sweet malts with a bit hops and some fruity notes. Taste is nutty, roasted malt and a light hopped finish. Easy to drink and very tasty, I will grab a six pack of this the next time I see it.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a moderately large brown head. Aroma is sweet malt---bread and dark fruits predominating---with some herbal hops. Flavor is bready, nutty, a little roast, a little grain, possibly a sour note, and a short finish with a few hops. A bit unusual, with crisp, almost sharp malt instead of the usual bock malt character. Pretty good though.

Attractive tawny garnet body with a tight slightly oily tan head. Bread, gain, cream, and plums with an undercurrent of dark green herbal hops. Mouthfeel is a little on the bright side, was hoping for a tad more thickness. Brassy grains, raisins, coco powder, and toasted biscuit. Finishes with a bit of malted milk and is gone.
