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.

Beer poors deep copper with a sligth white head. Beer has a pleasant malty lager aroma. Flavor has notes of carmel and comes through with a sweet maltiness that’s balanced well with a subtle hop bitterness. Beer is extremely clean and has a perfect palate for the style. I’m disapointed this is a limited release. This is a beer that has really made me think twice about trying to brew a lager.

Pours brown/red, thin off white head. Malty aroma, caramelly and bock-ish... Full bodied, malty flavour - very nice. Not something I usually go for but very good.

Toffee, caramel and plum scents. Appearance is well carbonated medium brown with creamy head. Flavor matches the nose well, with more of an emphasis on the caramel. Palate is creamy. Good.

Dark coppery brown color with a film of a head. Spicy roasted malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a bitter sweet finish that lasts. Medium with an almost sticky mouthfeel. This is a very easy drinking, satisfying beer.

I must say I really enjoyed this one. Very good bock. Nice dark coper color. Getting lots of malt, but a nice balance, not a total malt bomb or anything....I would buy this again!

This is a really solid bock. I enjoyed this more than most Sam Adams brews. Nice malty taste with just a touch of sweetness. Some bread type notes in it as well.

Pours amber brown with a tan head. Aroma is caramel malts with hints of chocolate. Flavor is nice and malty with caramel, brown sugar and hints of chocolate coming through. Not bad.

Pours clear deep amber/copper. Aroma of toasted cereal and fruit. Taste is the same. I found this to be an easy drinker. Good stuff

Bottle ( 12oz ). Clear copper-amber, very large fluffy beige lasting head, thick lace remnants. Decent, if light aroma - toasty cereal malt, dry cocoa, slight sour, as from a hint of unripe fruit. Taste is syrupy, thick cereal grain, quite pungently floral, a decent bitter/sweet balance - a little fruitiness around the edges. Light, watery mouthfeel, but a bit sticky - adequately carbonated, quick-finishing, quite crisp. Not bad.
