Anchor Bock Beer

12oz bottle. comes out of the bottle a murky brown hue that looks pretty good. pour indicates low carbonation. thin khaki head. big sweet nutty aroma with lots of toffee, coco and dry toast. sweet and tangy start fades into a dry coco powder middle. the texture is reminiscent of whole milk. toasty dry finish is a nice compliment. this still has a flavor much like other anchor beers.

355 ml bottle
5.7% ABV
I tried this beer on August 21, 2007 at the ’Beer Bistro’ in Toronto. The beer poured dark brown into a tulip glass with a thin brownish head. The aroma was malty with hints of nuts and caramel. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, with sharp carbonation. The flavour was malty with hints of chocolate and caramel.

Picked up a six-pack at Woodman’s in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a clear cherry cola brown brew with a creamy beige head that slowly dissolves to a fine film and ring. Aroma of roasted dark malt, molasses, some coffee and dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium to full bodied, very light carbonation with a smoked molasses and dry grain flavor. Finish is slightly dry, toasted malt with a dry dark berry aftertaste. Almost could fool me as a porter than a dunkler bock.

12oz bottle served in an english pint. Molasses, chocolate, mild dark fruits, cream, and earthy hops in the aroma. Dark red/bronze color with a mocha head. Flavor is rich malt, cocoa, molasses, cream, mild smoke and mild wood followed by mild roast, cream and earthy hops in the finish. Nice mouthfeel, seems substantial, but still easy to drink. Well done Anchor!

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear deep brown with a medium sized fizzy white head with decent retention. The aroma is roasted malts with a hint of hops and dark fruits. The flavor is again roasted malts with sweet molassess and some light fruitiness. This had some porter qualities to it. Medium bodied. Very drinkable.

Near black body, creamy light brown head; Very sweet chocolate malty, pine hoppy nose with a little smoke; A bit thin soft licorice bitter body, very soft big carbonation; Long licorice bitter a bit sharp thin finish, very soft carbonation. Extremely strange in a bad way.

Aroma of some roasted malt, some molasses, and some coffee. I thought it smelt like a porter. Pours dark brown with a nice velvetty beige head. Flavor is some subtle molasses, chocolate, a little mocha, nice and roasty. It finishes a little sweet with some mild hints of clean hops. Very drinkable.
