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.

Bottle. Pours dark brown ruby, off white head. Aroma is molasses, malt, salted nuts, anise. Flavor is the same with caramel and bread and is refreshing. The aroma is heavier than the flavor but I don’t find the body to be too weak.

bottle - Pours dark amber with a big, light tan head. The aroma is of caramel malt and dark fruit. The roast caramel malt flavor has more hops than usual for this style and finishes dry. I found it a little on the watery side. It’s alright as a session brew, but be aware that it’s not as sweet and dry as you’d expect for the style and that there are certainly better bocks to be had.

Bottle: Brown with a nice tan head. The aroma is pleasant - a perfect amount of malty goodness mixed with some light musk. Lively carbonation which creates a smooth foamy feel going through the mouth. This would be a perfect beer to drink with pizza. It has a light cola aftertaste.

Aroma is a roasted scent with tones that remind me of orange liquor. Color is a dark amber with very good carbonation and a thick tight tan head. Taste is clean and malty. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp letting it feel lighter then it is. Finish is a roasted malt flavor back with a spicy hop flavor that come out with a mild citrus (orange) and vanilla taste. In the after taste its clean with a mild bitterness. This is a very good brew and is better then I was expecting it to be.

Bottle. Pours a deep brown with a tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, and slight raisin. Taste is the same, with caramel and roasted malt up front. Raisins and spice detectable in the aftertaste. A very enjoyable brew, and one I would definitely have again.

Dark brown with small tan head. Smelled interesting, fruity, malty. Flavor had a strange spice that made it a bit sour almost? Pretty good though.
