Amberbock has become my favorite beer. Great taste at a reasonable price!

I found Amber Bock in Florida on a golfing trip, and LOVED it! It featured in my decision to go back the next yeaR.

Just found this beer. AMAZING to say the least. Yuengling and Sam Adams Boston Larger now play second fiddle to Amber Bock. I can’t wait for dinner time to come to savor the flavor with every dish I eat.

My step brother in law Mike introduced me to Amber Bock 5 or 6 years ago. He has since passed away I think of him often when I open a bottle and take a drink. I hold this beer and the memory of Mike dear to my heart he was the coolest guy to know. This is my favorite beer if not this its Sam Adams.

Mark – I’ve never heard of a stronger version of Michelob Amber Bock and can’t find any sign of it on Michelob’s web site or on BeerAdvocate. Maybe you tried one of the other Michelob beers like the DunkelWeisse or the Porter? There also used to be a Michelob Dark (I think the bottle read Michelob Classic Dark) – I don’t think they make that one anymore though.

I HAD A STRONGER VERSION OF AMBER BOCK DARK IN ARIZONA AND I CANT FIND IT IN TOLEDO OHIO! HOW DO I FIND THE STONGER VERSION?

Great review. Love the wit and the erudition. Makes for a balanced read. Also, find myself in complete agreement with your conclusions. I’ll be reading more.

Cheers!

For some reason, I have had bad luck with miller, bud etc beers, so, I stick with craft beers and expensive european beers. I like lagers, but then I like the dark color, and saving money is always good. So, Michelob Amber Bock fits what I was looking for, just had one, tastes great, looks great, and it is much less money than the Heineken or Stella Artois.

Amber Bock is the best tasting dark lager in the country. Smooth but not too strong. Only go to retaurants that serve it.

Simply put, Amberbock is the only beer I will go cheap to. I come from a well set family and it hard to say that i was always a “good beer” drinker. I tried budlight but never was happy with it. I found amberbock and quickly fell in love with its flavor and non-hangover feel. Been legal for almost two years and try every beer at least once, but amberbock remains easily my favorite no matter the new beer. when deep in pocket i feel a Guinness, but it needs to be an amberbock if I want to drink. I don’t want budlight or mich ultra, the cheapest I WILL BUY is amberbock. permanently thristy for more,

Discovered this oh….back in, let’s say ’96. It was on tap at the restaurant where I was washing dishes in the aftermath of Michigan’s auto industry collapse. Up ’til then, as a youth I’d mostly drank crappy beers – you know, the domestics, and the cheap ones at that. It caught my attention when I tried it.

Fast forward a bit…I bailed and moved to New Orleans, didn’t see it in stores anywhere, didn’t much worry about it. Over time, I learned to appreciate better beers. Then one day it clicked, hey, there’s that Amber Bock, I remember that! So I buy some. Whaddaya know, it’s better than the local microbrew amber. Cheaper, too.

Now, I still go out for the exotic stuff, I’ll try anything once. But the Amber Bock still finds it’s way into my fridge when I’m looking for a realistically priced beer that doesn’t taste like….well, you all know all the old euphemisms.

Curtis – 5 out of 10 means it’s a perfectly good everyday sessionable beer. If that doesn’t describe Amber Bock then I don’t know what does. Stay thirsty, my friend!

Five out of ten? Are you kidding me? Amber Bock is the best tasting beer/lager on the planet. It goes well with or without food, and doesn’t leave a nasty after-taste in your mouth like some other beers. I have been hooked on Amber Bock for nearly two years now and haven’t looked back. I’m surprised that it isnt’ as well-known as some other beers.

Congrats on the milestone.
Amber Bock isn’t bad…it’s a decent light-dark beer. It’s good and refreshing on a summer’s evening.

I know its a little late, but congrats on hitting the 100 review mark. I’ve really enjoyed your site and look forward to the next 100!
I like the suggestion of the Amber Bock being used as a ‘conversion’ beer for those who stick to the ‘tried-and-true’ beers time and again. A safe bet to try something new!

Awesome choice. I like the real colloquial gesture of reviewing something familiar – great writing. And again, congrats on the 100th.

Congrats on the 100th! I actually remember trying this beer for the first time say 6 years ago and really liking it.
