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 deep mahogany into a Shaker. Fluffy off-white micro head tophats the rim and holds excellent retention. Toasty malts and sweet grass aromas. Dark caramel upfront and a little thin. Crisp, dry and lasting roasted malt finish.

Bottle. Sweet caramel malt aroma, with fruit. Deep brown body, small tan head. Super flavor of malt, appropriate sweetness, molasses. Very lengthy, though subtle, finish, that lingers on the tongue. Wonderful beer.

Bottle... poured deep ruby with a nice beige head, nice lacing. Fruity aroma with also sweet, cocoa malts. Full, creamy palate with flavors of toasty malts, pistachios, fruit and a little floral presence from some hops in the finish.

Pretty typical bock here but nothing extraordinary about it. One of many examples very similar to each other in my opinion.

Bottle. Pours very dark with a faint ruby hue. Tan foamy head. Earthy aroma with hint of banana. Flavor starts with a hint of coffee and roasted malts, followed by a slight flowery sweetness and a estery/cascade hop finish. A very good bock.

Dark brown color with attractive garnet highlights. Strong malty aroma and lightly toasted flavor of sweet malt. The medium body beer lingers with some alcohol warmth.
