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.

This is my first Bock in a many years. It is an Anchor beer product. The head frothed over the glass. The dark beer was full of flavor. It was a pleasure to drink. The beer was a deep dark brown with a sweet finish.

Bottle. A nearly black pour, with a tan head that has impressive lacing. Stewed fruits and molasses on the nose. Flavours of chocolate and stewed fruits. Well balanced. Delicious!

Bottle. Darkish black beer with a very strong head. The aroma is lightly roasted, and the flavour is mildly roasted and malty. Overall an average beer.

A dark dunkel. Tastes like a dopplebock mixed with a porter. A beautiful creamy head with a dark amber brown body. Earthy malts mixed with caramel, chocolate, and a lightly bitter coffee finish.

Pours a dark brown with a thick creamy head. Taste is roasted malt, dark fruit, noble earthy hop bitterness. Nice malt aroma with a hint of chocolate. A solid brew.

12oz bottle from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Pours dark reddish brown with thick tan head. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, and some citrus. Flavor is malty with caramel, chocolate, dark fruits and hint of citrus. Thick and chewy mouthfeel. Nice session beer to sit around a fire with.

Bottle. Chocolate, coffee and other roasted tones dominates the aroma aswell as the taste. Both are accompanied by fresh american hops. This is a very porteresque beer.

Pours dark amber with a good sized frothy tan head that leaves nice lacing. Sweet malt aroma, bread with a hint of cinnamon. Light bodied beer with a malt flavor and enough hops to compliment. Mild bitter coffee finish. Flavor and palate don’t quite live up to the appearance and aroma but a good beer nonetheless.
