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.

Pours a very dark caramel, mild aroma. Slightly smoky malty flavor, with a dry finish. A decent bock from Anchor.

Smells a little hoppy yet malty with some candy. Friendly goat chewing on a hop branch. Good clean malty impact for the palate. Aromatic and volatile. Alky finish is a hanger onner.

Apparently this was recently distributed to NC for the first time. Dark fruits, roast, and some hops.. about what I expected.

looking forward to this one, but was disappointed. Toastyness was not evident at all in the nose or in the flavor. Dark fruits dominate. And then something sour showed up in the finish. Not desirable.

Blah. Aroma was weak. Could pick up some dark fruit in the distance. Pour was a nice deep dark amber with a thin tan ring for a head. The taste was so so. Strong vinous flavor of dark fruit and sticky sweet roasted malt. Heavy carbonation with a semi bitter aftertaste. Just average.

(bottle): Pours a dark dark brown body, Big foamy off-tan head, good lacing, somewhat lasting. Very fresh aroma, outdoorsy, somewhat dusty. Malty, somewhat dusty, somewhat nutty taste. Good body, somewhat light. Spring-y. More creamy, fruity as it warms up.

Clear garnet color with a nice tan head. Aroma is first a whiff of hops then a more typical toffee malty smell. medium body and smooth. Decent taste is of mildly sweet malts and molasses flavored bread. Very easy drinking. 3237

This is a great looking drink - Smooth and sweet with a dry, moderate bitter finish. Very thin and somewhat tart. Bitter chocolate on the finish. Funny that Rob and I picked this up at 99Bottles and rated it so closely. Good times.
