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.

(12oz bottle) Pours a clear dark chocolate brown, with tan head that stays and great lacing. Nose is spicy yeast, sweet biscuit, brown sugar, and alcohol alongside some chocolate. Taste is sweet light toasted malts, creamy body, perfect velvety carbonation, and really nice and thick. This is easily the best of the 2009 Longshot series.

Bottle poured a clear reddish brown with a lasting tan head. Aromas of carmel, toasted malt, plum and a hint of brown sugar. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp with a smooth finish. Flavors of carmel, brown sugar, toasted malt and light fruittiness with a smooth malty finish.

Bottle. Pours a caramel brown in color with an offwhite head. It has a floral, fruity aroma. Tasting notes of caramel sugars, sweet fruity malts, and toasted bread. It has a rich, creamy body and a lingering finish.

The appearance is clear and deep ruby red with a slightly off white head. The malt hits your nose as you near the glass, with rich carmel and melanoidins coming into play at first sip. Awesome aroma. Smooth and slightly nutty - right on target for this classic style. The hops are well in the background of this malt forward beer. Picked up some mild toffee notes, as well. Good effort by SA in reproducing this homebrewer’s beer.

12 oz. bottle into a glass Pours light red-brown with a thick khaki head. The aroma is caramel grains and dusty metal. The flavor is roasted and caramel grains with some bread and malt sweetness with a dry almost coffee finish. Really not bad.

Enjoyed from a 12oz bottle in a pub glass. The beer pours the characteristic deep brown, with perhaps a few dark ruby highlights. The aroma shows deep malt character, and a nice complexity; although it is a bit restrained. The palate is full, bringing notes of Munich malt, slightly toasted malt, and a nicely sweet (but not overly so) finish. Nicely done.

Lots of flavor in this bock. Very sweet on the nose and tongue. Quite a full range of malty notes. Maybe a little high in the alcohol. Nice beer.
