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.

Bottle poured a clear very dark reddish brown with a large lasting brown head. Aromas of roasted malt, hints of dark fruit and molasses. Palate was medium bodied. Flavors of roasted malt, light molasses and just a hint of dark fruit with a lingering tangy finish.

Pours a freaking fantastic dark nearly black color with a beautiful tan head. When held to the light you can see red around all the edges. Nice roasted malt aroma with hints of coffee and toffee. Flavor is also very roasty with a bit of a tangy finish. A very easy drinking bock.

[Bottle] Dark brown with an ok head. Aroma is roasted malt, toffee and liquorice. Very malty flavour, rosted coffee and toffee. An odd Bock.

Pours coca-cola brown with a smallish, quickly dissipating tan head. Aroma has lots of caramel with hints of roasted malts, a bit metallic. Taste is rather bitter in a slightly burnt coffee sort of way with some sweet caramel and grainy notes. Body is on the light side... expected it to be a bit heavier to match the taste.

Red-brown with dark notes. Beige head. Caramel aroma with notes of chocolate, merengue, some licorice and hops. Chocolate flavor with notes of bitter cocoa and licorice. Dry bitterness.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours red\brown with a decent sized tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, and alcohol, good body, decent brew.

fruity/slightly smokey aroma pours near pitch black/very dark brown. excellent fruity yeast ester flavor blends very well with the light smoke flavors, caramel, bitter chocolate, toffee. Overall a very excellent mix on the palate. I got this in Idaho in a bottle so the only available in San Fran stuff is not true.
