Jun 14, 2009 Beautiful very dark brown with a shapely head that built and crowned over the rim of the glass and kept its retention between pours so the second pouring resulted in a kind of pyramid look to the head. Excellent. Clean chocolate aroma, Gritty texture to the roast, chewy but not quite thick. It strikes me as traditional from each angle but still captures me as unique as a whole. Maybe that’s because there aren’t many good west coast bocks. Great beer.

Jun 6, 2009 330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. A tasty malty beer. Nicely done - good flavours, firm, but not too assertive or extreme. This is not an adventurous beer, but it does what it does very well, and is an enjoyable and satisfying brew. Rather low in strength for a Bock of any description, and I suspect the name Bock is used more for the association with Spring than for the strength. I quite like Anchor beers - they are not exciting, adventurous or wonderfully tasty, but they are decent, well made beers.

Jun 5, 2009 Bottle. Very dark brown with a beige foam. Aromas are earthy light roast malts with lots of herbal notes. Winter berry fruits with dark chocolate. Flavours are sweet toffee and chocolate malts with gritty coffee. Smoky with raisins and berries. Good.

Jun 1, 2009 Really enjoyed the mellow style of this beer. Smells of butter, caramel, and soft malts come out. Flavor is butter, molasses cake and heavy on the malts. Great looking beer, a peerless brown with a tiny bubbled soft carbonation that adds to the pleasant flavors. Thanks Anchor. 2009 12 oz.

May 27, 2009 Amber-brown pour producing a thick, tan head and heavy lacing. Toffee and raisin on the nose with a touch of tobacco and coffee. Slick feel coupled by a creamy, malty body. Caramel, molasses and plum flavors backed by multi-grain bread and chocolate pudding. Nice bock, good standard.

May 18, 2009 This beer has a great malt profile with a good chocolate note. Hop bitterness balances it out and makes it very drinkable. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Solid malt aroma. I will definitely be purchasing more.

May 16, 2009 From the bottle. It is really a struggle to figure out what to knock about this beer. Looks good, tastes good; strong in the areas you want a bock to be strong in. Could be a bit heavier, I suppose, and when accidentally served in a frosty mug, the head tends to break up in an unattractive manner. Otherwise, a very fine beer.
