Apr 7, 2007 This is a well made beer. It’s pretty to look at - nice tan head, deepp reddish brown color, nice aroma. As fo flavor, it’s somewhat overwhelmed with hoppiness compared to what I was expecting. Well made, but not to my taste.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep garnet brown with a lacy orange head. Aroma of yeast, bread, fruit and caramel with a touch of herbal hops. Medium body with full carbonation. Taste of brown sugar, citrus, nuts, roasty malt and smidgeon of prune. Crisp finish with a touch of brown sugar and a twist of grapefruit.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottled (thanks omhper!). Dark brown colour, small brown head. Aroma is almost wineous dark fruit, caramel, toffee, raisins and slight roast. Flavour is raisins, dark fruit, alcohol, caramel and a bit acidic fruits. Some roasted hints in finish and aftertaste, along with quite crispy hops. Quite full palate compared to many other beers at the same ABV level.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottled (BB 03/2008)
Dark brown, almost opaque color, nice tan head. Toasted malty, chocolaty aroma with brown sugar and caramel. Stylish "light" dark bock (although not from the style book): toasted malts, sweetish fruity (plums) notes, solid malty background, hints of cocoa and vanilla. Balanced and enjoyable bock.

Mar 24, 2007 WOW-JUST WHEN I WAS STARTING TO GIVE UP....bottles/corner liquor store...the bad stuff..the citrus taste is unecessary and DISTRACTING for a Bock althought this tastes like a lager and second, too expensive, barely worth 8 bucks for six beers but you could say that about 99percent of beers....the GOOD stuff: somewhere behind that wonderful malt and barley that sits really nice on palate is that old Anchor Steam orginal taste. Consistency is a wonderful thing for an American Brewer. I drank it out of the bottle which is a compliment for me. Lingering hoppy finish is a nice touch. Robust, not too dark, and a fine alcohol kick. If you like a Bock leave the Shiner’s on the shelf and grab six of these. A pretty complete beer, I was nicely surprised.
