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.

Picked this one up as a single. This one pours beautifully with a massive creamy head and a blackish red color. I wasn’t expecting this. Nose of a hint of grapefruit and roasted malt. This is not as malty as I was expecting, but this beer was interesting. In a good way. I’d buy a six pack.

Very good beer although a little out of style with the roasty dryness of the beer. Poured with a beautiful thick bountiful tan head with lots o lace. Opaque brownish black. Very mild aroma. Thick body, satisfying. Had this from a bottle at The Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsiin Usa

Chewy vegetal and dry malt aroma. Balanced and fine. Very drinkable dry toffee lager malts, a touch of licorice on top of farm fresh milk and plantains. At once delicate and robust, supremely balanced and a very good bock overall. Totally nails the style.

Pours out a nice deep brown color with a small tan head. aroma is that of roasted malts and caramel sweetness. flavor was very much the same, but had a slight btterness tot he finish. Not bad.

Really nice bock with some hints of smokiness in the flavor. A nice change-up to their lineup of beers.

Pours a dark, almost opaque, ruby color with a reasonable light brown head that lingers. Roasted coffee, caramel, and hop flower aroma. Roasted malt, bitter chocolate, and vanilla flavor with moderate hoppiness. A very interesting brew, but as another rater said, this is not a bock.

Sampled in a bottle. Pours very smooth with a dark color. Aroma is semi sweet. Mouthfeel is spectacular. Goes down so smooth with a nice mellow aftertaste. Flavor is littly hopped and a mild malty texture. Overall a very very good beer.
