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 a very dark brown. Thick and viscous. Extremely dense tight tan head. Thick fine lacing that clings the the sides of the glass. Very atractive. NIce lightly roasted malt flavor, slightly woody and a bit of chocoalte. Flavor is again, light roasted, chocoalte and slightly acidicgrassyness. Lightly hopped and a slightly bitter twang ans the end. Very nice smooth feel and soft fine carbonation.

Bottle. Pours clear tawny with an average-size creamy light brown head, mostly lasting, good lacing. Aroma is light malt (bread), heavy hops (pine, spruce), light yeast (dough) with notes of grape and cinnamon. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation and a metallic finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness; slight vinegar notes.

Flowery aroma and malty aroma. ? with halogen it’s a ruby brown color; beige head that laces. Starts sweet - but dark fruit more than malt. A bit thin. A burst of spice, but only for a moment. There is a chocolate character, and also a hint of underlying sour. Finishes with some Guiness toasted malt balanced with hop. The lasting impact is mild bitter. It is really good stuff.

Deep brown color, but not quite opaque. Large head which turns rocky and leaves fair to good lacing. Aroma of roasted nutty malts, chocolate, and dark fruit. Taste was sweet with a little plum tang. Bitter hops taste towards the end. Medium body. Somewhat sticky texture. The fruit taste seems to make it more like a doppelbock to me. But either way, it’s pretty good.

(draft @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Dark brown in color with a lasting and puffy tan head. Aroma is spicy with hints of chocolate, malts, caramel, and some licorice. Flavor is almost the same as the malts. Lots of chocolate malts, resin, licorice, and spices. Finishes smooth and sweet. A real nice bock.
