Provided by ilovedarkbeer at his latest tasting. Aroma is very heavy on coffee malts with a bit of clove and maybe even some menthol (and a bit of metal). Creamy, light brown head with good lacing. Nearly black in color. Taste is watery upfront with a salty, coffee, malty finish. Some alcohol.

Aug 30, 2008 12 oz. bottle poured into tumbler- poured very dark brown with red tints when held to a light source, high carbonation, tan head 3 mm thick was defiant and refused to bubble away. Aroma of caramel, malt, and prunes. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is tasty and stands alone well, a touch of sweetness in the middle, finish has crisp finish with hops underneath. Sorry Shiner, this is my sessioner for awhile...

Aug 23, 2008 A dunkler bock? Guess that’s why it’s so dark. Nice dense off-white head. Caramal nose. Not quite as malty as I would have expected. Hops dry this beer out, tastes a bit of oxidation? Not diggin’ the aftertaste. I’d expect a cleaner brew from Anchor.

Aug 19, 2008 Had this in the bottle at Frankie’s music club in Toledo, OH. It poured a dark brown with brownish head. I am not the biggest bock fan, but it was the only decent sounding beer they had there.. and it actually wasnt that bad. Lots of dark malty goodness with some smokey finish. Very good stuff! Cheers!

Aug 12, 2008 Big 700ml "Anchor" bottle. Dark brown, light tan creamy head. Aroma is of a very bold, rich malts. Big dark carmels and toffee notes. Flavor has a very bold toast. Rich malt flavor character. Crisp hop balance. Very balanced. It is an alcoholic version of a latin malta drink. Rich and nutritious! My new favorite Anchor, sorry Liberty.
