Anchor Bock Beer

Pours an opaque dark brown with a light tan head, nicely laces the glass. Roasted malt, smells like cereal. A hint of hopes seems out of place. A very grainy, bran like flavor. Medium bodied.

This is not what is considered a Bock in the tradtional sense. The Anchor Brewery has taken liberties with the definition of a Bock. Read the commercial description. This beer is fair with too much hop for a bock. I was disappointed!

Dark brown with big, foamy tan head / Faint malt nose / Light, watery, highly carbonated body with faint finish / Very light flavors of caramel and coffee/ High carbonation detracts, making this a soda pop-like brew.

Dark cola brown color. Aroma of cocoa, roasted barley and hints of plums. Toasty, some chocolate, mild bitterness with faint notes of coffee and cinnamon in the finish.

Bottle Pours a very dark brown. Thick and viscous. Extremely dense tight tan head. Thick fine lacing that clings the the sides of the glass. Very atractive. NIce lightly roasted malt flavor, slightly woody and a bit of chocoalte. Flavor is again, light roasted, chocoalte and slightly acidicgrassyness. Lightly hopped and a slightly bitter twang ans the end. Very nice smooth feel and soft fine carbonation.

Bottled. Dark brown pour, thin light brown head. A light raisiny smell. Taste is full-on toffee with a thread of cocoa, plums and raisins. Nice sweetness.

Bottle. Pours clear tawny with an average-size creamy light brown head, mostly lasting, good lacing. Aroma is light malt (bread), heavy hops (pine, spruce), light yeast (dough) with notes of grape and cinnamon. Light bodied, thin texture, soft carbonation and a metallic finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness; slight vinegar notes.

Very dark beer with a large head. Great rich taste with a hint of bitter finish. Would definatley buy again
