Commercial Description:
Keg and bottle: Filtered.
First brewed in 2005.
Ingredients: Finest barley malts, wheat malts, and fresh whole hops.
Bock beer, released in celebration of the arrival of spring, is an ancient and mysterious part of the brewing tradition. Over time, the term "bock" has come to mean a beer darker and stronger than the brewery’s regular brew. This is the first time we have brewed a bock at Anchor Brewing Co., and we hope you will find it to be a rich and flavorful addition to our offerings. San Francisco’s Anchor Bock Beer is virtually handmade by the brewers of Anchor Steam® Beer, in one of the most traditional small breweries in the world.

Quite caramely and nutty in the aroma and flavor, also nutty in flavor akin to a hazelnut brown ale, malted-up flavor but thin, somewhat watery palate. It’s a straight 7/10 beer.

Pours very dark with a reddish tinge, beige head. Caramel with burnt chocolate in the nose. Sweet malt with dark chocolate and an almost burnt roasted flavor. Finishes with a hoppiness that was suprising

Poured pitch black with a thick tan head. Aroma - roast malt. Flavor was quite sweet with notes of roast malt and dark fruit. Taste of liquorice or possible anise was dominant and for me off putting.

12oz bottle(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-Pours dary ruby brown with a nice loose tan head and an aroma of Roasted malt, caramel, and toffee. Taste is of the same with some coffee and a little chocolate. This full bodied brew is pretty good even though I am not fond of this style.

Smells very malty and tastes roasted. I guess i’m just not into Bocks... It’s probably pretty good if you’ve aquired the taste.
