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 clear soda-colored brown with a small light tan head. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor is sweet and malty with a weak palate. Much too sweet. The letdown of the Longshot bunch. 6/4/5/3/12 (3.0/5)

The aroma is weak but it has chocolate, toasted malt, and light fruit. The appearance is brown with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma with a bit of bite at the end. The palate is thin. Overall it’s pretty good.

Light golden brown colour. A little toasty, caramelly, mildish bock. Mild toasty body. Some faint chocolate malt accents. Moderate body. Moderate sweetness.

Deep garnet. Head disappears fast, leaving scant lace. Sweet raisin bread aroma, medjool dates and brown sugar. Clean, drinkable medium body with good level of carbonation. Flavors are sweet, simple, and quite tasty. Malty and smooth. Nothing exceptional but drinkable and decent. Lots of simple sugars tho, and I think it might get cloying if I had more than one.

The malt character on this is quite fruity, and only occasionally seems to tip over into pruniness (which I despise). Quite good, really.
