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.

22 oz. Reddish-brown pour with a thick brown head. Sweet aroma of malt. Aftertaste is slight sweetness that seemed to linger longer as the beer warmed up.

yespr (20656) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - MAR 3, 2009
12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark borwn and hazy with a small tan head. Sweet yet roasted malt and ense pinewood hoppy aroma. Light acidic, overripe fruity and somewhat wooden in initial flavour. Somewhat wineous and dense malty in base flavour. Lasting malty and wineous impression into the finish.

elihapa (1369) - Honolulu, Hawaii, USA - MAR 3, 2009
Bottle. Poured into a snifter dark brown with a pearly carbonated brown head. Rich aroma of sweet raspberries, chocolate, raisins and caramel malt. Flavor was a dry roasted component not present in the nose. It is also far more watery than the nose indicates. Starts with some minerals and dry roasts, and finishes with semisweet chocolate, metal and water. Palate is quite thin and carbonated, finishing with dryness. What a let down past the aroma, let it warm to just below cellar temp for best results

timfoolery (595) - California, USA - MAR 1, 2009
Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. This one was indeed strong with some odd flavor combos. It was definitely infused with spice and an odd sour mix of tobacco and fruit. Weird one.

HonkeyBra (2217) - Lemont, Illinois, USA - FEB 14, 2009
Very dark pour, where some light sneaks through. A big, off white head the reduces down to a slight film. Aroma is tobacco, cinamon, roast, spice. Stronger than most other dunklers. Flavor is spciey and dry, with lots of cinamon and tobacco. This is an excellent beer

thornecb (2962) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - FEB 13, 2009
Pours deep mahogany into a Shaker. Fluffy off-white micro head tophats the rim and holds excellent retention. Toasty malts and sweet grass aromas. Dark caramel upfront and a little thin. Crisp, dry and lasting roasted malt finish.
