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.

Bottle. Pours a medium/light brown with a pillowy head. Aromas are sweet... maple sugar and caramel with a little bit of earthiness. Flavor is mildly cloying maple sugar sweetness with a little bit of a nutty side to it. Nothing spectacular here... but solid enough.

Pours a deep, beautiful brown with a thin, off-white head. Aroma is surprisingly weak light but the taste is of smoky wood and toasted malts. Strong aftertaste as well.

Bottle from City Beer Store in SF. Nice one, Alex! Pours copper with a one-finger yellowish head. Syrupy caramel malt and dark fruit on the aroma. Flavor is malt, brown sugar, caramel, plums, and cherries. Palate smooth and a little syrupy. A great example of the style.

12oz bottle. Pours amber with a frothy beige head. Aroma is of malt, caramel, dark fruit, and brown sugar. Taste is very malty, with lots of caramel and brown sugar. Has a nice big presence of dark fruit. Long lingering fruit taste. Has a strange medicinal taste to it, but it doen’t detract too much from the overall taste. Mouthfeel is very malty, but not in a bad way. Very drinkable.

12oz bottle. Orange brown with a small, lasting head. Pungent sweet dark malt/fruit aroma. Classic Bock tastes, rich caramel and toffee. Some interesting dark fruity tastes as well. Quite nice for 6.8%, the alcohol is never abrasive on the palate. Balanced, tasty, and quite drinkable.

Bottle. Grainy and light grape, hint of plum. Dark ruby pour doesn’t allow much light through, supports a rocky tan head. Taste is dull malt, plummy caramel and grape, a little spicy toast and dough, lightly sweet. Light body and a rubbery aftertaste.

A deep clear amber in color with a small but well retaining head. Aroma of alot of malt- molasses, brown sugar, some toasted malt, mild fruit, some nuts, some chocolate. Taste: mild chocolate, alot of molasses and toasty malt, brown sugar, somewhat nutty, hints of dark fruit, overall smooth with a light hop bitterness in the finish. Body is full and chewy.

Pours a chestnut hued body and a bountiful light tan head. The aroma is molasses sweet, toffee, caramel, with hints coco, raisins, plums and dates. The palate is sticky, and finishes juicy and sweet. Overall, I’m pretty impressed... One hell of a tasty Bock Biere!
