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.

12oz bottle. Orange brown with a small, lasting head. Pungent sweet dark malt/fruit aroma. Classic Bock tastes, rich caramel and toffee. Some interesting dark fruity tastes as well. Quite nice for 6.8%, the alcohol is never abrasive on the palate. Balanced, tasty, and quite drinkable.

12 oz bottle. Clear red pour atop which a thin off-white head forms and disappears. Aroma is a honey-like sweetness, caramel, and biscuit. Hints of hops. Flavor is toasty biscuit with honey and caramel, dryer than the aroma. Clean finish with a touch of alcohol and hops. Well-executed.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice caramel malt. Flavor is some roasted nut with a touch of dark fruit. A Little alcohol is left after the swallow. The is pretty good and i have had worse of the style.

Bottle. Pours with a tan head that is somewhat fluffy and large over the clear mahogany brown body. Good lace. Aroma of honey, chocolate, toasted malts, cinnamon, wet dog, and freshly baked bread. Taste is grainy with fresh bread and a slight metallic off-flavor. On the sweet side of things. Light bubbles water like mouthfeel.
