Commercial Description:
2008. Created by homebrewer Alex Drobshoff. Alex’s Brew is a bright copper German inspired bock with a complex, full bodied mouthfeel. Hints of rich plum and cherry aromas paired with its toasty, malt flavor make this the perfect beer to linger over on a cool evening.

Bottle. Poured a nice dark brown body with thin head. Aroma is light - dark fruit and malt. Flavor has a light caramel accent with black plum, sweet malt and a small amount of honey in each sip. Very smooth.

Poured a nice amber with a decent beige head. Aroma mostly of caramel. Pretty full bodied with firm carbonation. The flavor is smooth, rich caramel with lighter dark fruits. I’ll buy plum and cherry. Finish is smooth and lightly sweet. It drinks amazingly well, and I think most everyone will enjoy it.

12 oz bottle: Aroma is really nice caramel and malty, nutty, and some light yeast notes. Appearance is an amber/brown witha thick off white head that lingers around for quite a while. Taste is somewhat dry first off, malt upfront, caramel, lightly smokey, buttery, and overall pretty decent. Palate has a lingering malty aftertaste and mouth feel has got nice carbonation and an overall malt characteristic. Overall, this actually an enjoyable easy drinking bockl all around. Cheers!

12oz bottle. Drank this while catching up on other ratings. Sam Adams needs to permanently hire some of the home brewers that win these Longshot competitions. Im not the biggest bock or dunkel fan, but this is very tasty. Pour is clear brown. Aroma is light and doughy w/ distant hint of plum. Palate is great. Mouth is carbonated well.. tastes of light/medium malts, some smoke, dark fruits, and dough. Again, really good for the style. 3.45

I will rerate, because the bottle I got smelled of heavy butyric acid, like strong vomit. Amazingly , it looked very good, tasted great, had a great palate, and was overall solid. After the repour, the bad smell went away and did not return. Consider this a "careful, this beer may have infection problems" rating, with a promise from me to rerate ASAP. This is the first time in 10 years that I’ve gotten a bad bottle of something.
