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.

Good appearance. Perfect head. Good balance between roastines and bitterness. VERY dry palate which I don’t care for. Definite anchor flavor. Seems like a cousin of their delicious porter.

29 Apr 06 - Sweet malt and complex fruit hop aroma. Dark brown-red colour, good head and fantastic sheet lacing that stays. Light fruit malt and vegetable hoppy flavour. Stark malt and hop finish, a bit thin and a distinctive finish.

I was excited to get a six pack of this last spring but was not expecting to be wowed by the flavor. Pours a modest brown and mahogany tinged body, ruby highlights and a dwindling tan head. Blackstrap molasses leads the way in the aroma, along with notes of herbal hops, nuts and caramel. Flavor is outstanding, more focused on hop spices rather than bitterness, creating a frre roaming plane for the caramel malts to shine. Excellent mouthfeel and a bittersweet and long lasting finish. Very well made bock.

Bottle. Very dark color but not quite black, khaki head that leaves slight to moderate lacing. Aroma is of molasses and spice, mouthfeel is pretty thin with tangy spice that moves into a thinnish malt, taste has caramel and coffee.

Bottle at home. Dark, almost black, color. Very spicy aroma. Dripy, lacey bock. Tangy and coffee taste. Fruity with smooth, spicey finish. Superb.

(Bottle) Pours brown to black. Roasted aroma with hops, chocolate and a sting of sour coffee. A bit fruity and a small note of smoke. Malty flavour with liquorice/anise and some hops. A tiny bit minty with hints of herbs. Light sour finish.
