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.

The aroma is like cola, malt, yeast, and leaves. The appearance is dark brown with an average head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s pretty good beer.

Goodgrief (1608) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - FEB 3, 2008
July 2006 - Beer poured really dark and huge head which left as quickly as it came. Deep chocolate and cherry flavor with some nut. Somewhat viney tasting and sweet caramel with sour finish...not crazy about this beer for some reason.

Flavor of dark fruits, burnt raisin, dark caramel, toffee, a hint of roast, noble hops, a light alcohol kick and some lingering bitterness. Medium bodied with lively carbonation.
