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.

Pours a dark barely see through amber/copper with not much of a tan foamy head that doesn’t stay for long. Somewhat big malty aromas of roasted malt, caramel, with some fig/plum with a hit of cherry. Flavors of light roasted sweet malt, caramel, fig/plum, and just a hint of cherry. A good and slightly rich bock at best. Tasty.

Dark coppery brown color with a film of a head. Spicy roasted malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a bitter sweet finish that lasts. Medium with an almost sticky mouthfeel. This is a very easy drinking, satisfying beer.

I must say I really enjoyed this one. Very good bock. Nice dark coper color. Getting lots of malt, but a nice balance, not a total malt bomb or anything....I would buy this again!

This is a really solid bock. I enjoyed this more than most Sam Adams brews. Nice malty taste with just a touch of sweetness. Some bread type notes in it as well.

Pours amber brown with a tan head. Aroma is caramel malts with hints of chocolate. Flavor is nice and malty with caramel, brown sugar and hints of chocolate coming through. Not bad.

Pours clear deep amber/copper. Aroma of toasted cereal and fruit. Taste is the same. I found this to be an easy drinker. Good stuff

Bottle ( 12oz ). Clear copper-amber, very large fluffy beige lasting head, thick lace remnants. Decent, if light aroma - toasty cereal malt, dry cocoa, slight sour, as from a hint of unripe fruit. Taste is syrupy, thick cereal grain, quite pungently floral, a decent bitter/sweet balance - a little fruitiness around the edges. Light, watery mouthfeel, but a bit sticky - adequately carbonated, quick-finishing, quite crisp. Not bad.

Bright amber aroma - sweet bready aroma. Flavours of xmas fruit. Sweet and punchy.Soft carbonation. Drinkable, but I’d only have 1.

Aroma is caramel, bready, simple and enjoyable. The beer is a nice ruby brown color, tan head. The flavor is sweet, caramel, bread, again simple and enjoyable. The finish is slightly astringent, a mild but noticeable hop bittering. The body is medium, creamy. Very nice beer overall, nothing crazy, just a good solid performer.
