Commercial Description:
2008. Created by homebrewer Alex Drobshoff. Alex’s Brew is a bright copper German inspired bock with a complex, full bodied mouthfeel. Hints of rich plum and cherry aromas paired with its toasty, malt flavor make this the perfect beer to linger over on a cool evening.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine. Reddish-brown pour with a white head. Aroma that smells much like many lagers but sweeter. I can’t say this tastes bad but it’s really not my style. It is indeed malty and therefore very sweet. Not really my thing and I have had better beers of this style. Again, not a bad beer but too malty for my tastes.

Color is a deep clear amber with good carbonation and a thin tight tan head. Aroma of alcohol and caramel. Taste is light and malty. Starting with a lighter medium body it goes down easy with a smooth feel. Finish comes on with a mild malt flavor that is has touch sweetness with a faint fruity taste then a mild bitterness. After taste is clean with just a faint lingering of the bitterness then after a while there is a warm alcohol feel. Overall its a nice brew, I think its a little light for a Bock but I do like it.

Bottle. Clear amber colored beer with a medium sized head. Lots of maltiness all around. Some nuts and whole grain come through. Nice solid, if not memorable, beer.

12 oz. bottle. Poured into a Sam Adams glass. Appealing dark lager pour, big head collects in the narrow top of the glass. Sweet, maybe sugary malt smell says this just may be a real trad style bock. Taste is very likable. Malty molasses cookie sweetness; I get a hint of ginger snap. A bit of dried fruit, but this is a well-finished lager. Not a beer to slam down, but to enjoy. I wouldn’t worry if they made this their regular bock recipe.

Very sweet aroma, with a touch of astringency lurking in the background. Hints of spicy yeast, and dark fruits. Pours a clear reddish amber, with a thin tan head. Flavor has hints of caramel, a touch of sweetness, and a bit of nuttiness. Decent mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, but a bit too sweet for my tastes.

Bottle. Dark body with red tynt to it. Aroma in traditional fashion is sweet malts and some ginger spice. Flavor was a bit watered down with a thick sticky malt and fruit presence. Not the best on palate leave a spicey sticky film lingering.

12 oz bottle from Country Club Liquors, a gift from enniskillen. Nose of wheaty fruitiness, with some toffee and light banana notes. Clear cherry brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is caramel, almonds, toffee, and light sweetness.
