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.

Deep ruby/brown with a towering, thick, beige head. Caramel, fruity, malty, toffee, and a bit nutty aroma. Body is a little thiner than I expected. Was hoping for a little more intense flavor, but it’s good regardless. Nutty, toffee, caramel, malts, and a little fruit. A very drinkable bock, and isn’t that the only thing that matters?

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with ruby highlights and a a very large brown head. The aroma was sweet, malty and lightly roasty. The flavor was tangy, bitter, roasty and a but nutty with a long tangy an d roasty finish. The mouthfeel was decently thick. Decent but rather forgettable.

Deep brown coloured body with a nice frothy tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, coffee, nuts and a bit of concord grapes. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty malt flavour with some caramel sweetness and a faint bit of metal. Aftertaste shows some malt, nuts, fresh hops and a tiny bit of yeast. Overall, a good beer - not the best bock I’ve had, but a decent offering from the brewery. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at a small convenience store off Columbus Avenue in San Francisco, California on 30-March-2008.

bottle - Pours dark amber with a big, light tan head. The aroma is of caramel malt and dark fruit. The roast caramel malt flavor has more hops than usual for this style and finishes dry. I found it a little on the watery side. It’s alright as a session brew, but be aware that it’s not as sweet and dry as you’d expect for the style and that there are certainly better bocks to be had.

Smells a little hoppy yet malty with some candy. Friendly goat chewing on a hop branch. Good clean malty impact for the palate. Aromatic and volatile. Alky finish is a hanger onner.

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.

Bottle. Pour is a thin, yet dark and leathery brown with a massive three or four finger tan head. As the head dies back I’m treated to some dark grain aromas with a touch of sweetness and some chocolate. Flavor is a bit off... maybe I got a bad bottle, but I picked up a small touch of sourness that mixes with the chocolate/toffee and roastiness.

Bottle. Poured deep brown with thick tan head. Aroma of swet malt and chocolate. Medium body. Bittersweet chocolate and malt, a bit of roast. Toasty finish. Worth drinking when you find it.
