Anchor Schwartzbier
Picked up a six of Anchor Bock.
Pretty tastey beer. Translucent black in color with a dark brown head, very roasty in both aroma and taste. Not a lot of malt flavor to speak of. In short, apart from the goat on the label, nothing at all like a bock. A pretty reasonable schwartzbier, though.

You've almost described Shiner Bock here, haven't you? Presumably minus the corn, and with some actual roasty character.

Anchor Schwartzbier
The main problem with their Bock is that they brew
it with their ale yeast. So its got a lot of fruity ale like character. Apparently they can't brew it with their lager yeast, because they don't have room to brew another lager.
