Oct 30, 2008 Dark brown/ruby red color, thick off-white head. The aroma is incredible, a mix of dark fruits, cherries, chocolate, and sweet malt. The flavor is roughly the same as the aroma, a nice mixture of dark fruits and chocolate. The finish is sweet, but is then balanced by a slight hoppyness. Excellent bock overall.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark red with a three finger brown head. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and fruit. Flavor is cherries, with a chocolate and coffee finishing. Somewhat light body with mild carbonation.

Sep 17, 2008 Bottle thanks to mmm///beer. Pours a beautiful dark red color with a large brown head. There is lots of brown in the body, mixed with the redness it almost seems like purple. The aroma is great; sweet berries, chocolates, toasted malts, and some sweeter candy notes. The flavor is very complex and nice; tons of fruit upfront, sour cherries, strawberry and others. A rich chocolate and brown sugar follow, and some light coffee in the finish. Light body and a somewhat easygoing beer. Very nice.

Sep 12, 2008 This reddish-brown ale poured with a decent tan head and a malty aroma. The flavor is caramel malt with a bit of smokiness and carbonation. This is a well-crafted session beer for those who enjoy a dark one.

Sep 7, 2008 Pours very dark ruby brown with a thick and creamy finger of tan head that lingered. Aroma is mostly chocolate and lightly roasted malts. Body is smooth and lets through a very sweet beer that again is chocolatey with some prune undertones and a slight hop and roasted malt bitterness for balance.

Aug 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle poured into tumbler- poured very dark brown with red tints when held to a light source, high carbonation, tan head 3 mm thick was defiant and refused to bubble away. Aroma of caramel, malt, and prunes. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is tasty and stands alone well, a touch of sweetness in the middle, finish has crisp finish with hops underneath. Sorry Shiner, this is my sessioner for awhile...

Aug 23, 2008 A dunkler bock? Guess that’s why it’s so dark. Nice dense off-white head. Caramal nose. Not quite as malty as I would have expected. Hops dry this beer out, tastes a bit of oxidation? Not diggin’ the aftertaste. I’d expect a cleaner brew from Anchor.

Aug 19, 2008 Had this in the bottle at Frankie’s music club in Toledo, OH. It poured a dark brown with brownish head. I am not the biggest bock fan, but it was the only decent sounding beer they had there.. and it actually wasnt that bad. Lots of dark malty goodness with some smokey finish. Very good stuff! Cheers!
