COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Unlucky 13? If anything, 13 has been a lucky number and year for us! Here is our version of a Weizen Doppelbock, a very rarely brewed style marrying the complexities of two great German traditions, Weiss and Doppelbock. The aroma is dominated by fruity and spicy esters produced by the German Weiss yeast strain with a dry drinkability from the wheat malt. The flavor and color are dominated by the unique specialty grains that produce the Doppelbocks flavors of fresh baked bread, toffee and cocoa, and a dark-ruby red hue. Since goats have traditionally adorned Bock labels, we chose a Rocky Mountain Goat for this Rocky Mountain Bock. Peace to all and follow your dreams! Brewed with Rocky Mountain water, malted barley, malted wheat, imported German specialty grains and hops, and one unique German yeast.

BuckNaked (1223) - Tempe, Arizona, USA - JUN 1, 2006
22oz bottle: Pours to a dark brown color, mostly clear when held to light, with a huge rocky tan head that lasts. The aroma is light chocolate, earthy wheat, light spicy yeast, mild lemon, cabbage, with some mild hops. The flavor is lightly bitter milk chocolate covered cabbage, vegitables, alcohol burn, lemon rind, grapefruit, and grains. Finishes with some bitter roasted malt, chocolate, and dry, bitter citrus hops. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, feels way too thin in the mouth, too cleanly filtered with too much alcohol showing. I’m trying to be sensitive to the higher alcohol and flavors, but the thin body and off-flavors just do not make for a good beer.

yemenmocha (657) - Glendale, Arizona, USA - SEP 19, 2009
Almost stout like in appearance, nearly opaque dark brown to black with tan head. Nose is typical weizenbock - dark malts, bananna fruit, bread. On the palate is a big caramal to roasted malt sweetness followed by hefty alcohol warmth. Finish is long and alcoholic. Definitely a high % alcohol bock beer.

deyholla (3524) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 6, 2009
Bottle. Poured near black with a slight red tinge and a thin light brown head. Aroma has a strong alcohol sent with some smokey malt characters. Flavor also has a bit of a harsh alcohol flavor that overwhelms the malty flavor. It may be past its peak at this point.

petermadsen (390) - Vesterbronxxx, DENMARK - DEC 13, 2007
An almost uninspiring aroma of vague chocolate and malted wheat. Flavour is astingent and bizarre, with chocolate and burned note covering a sweet but oddly thin body. This one is really out of standard compared to the Avery portfolio. Mayby it was over age (bottled 2006) or infected..

tenghave (402) - Taastrup, DENMARK - SEP 26, 2007
Tung kastaniefarvet øl. Duften er Viniøs, røget og sød. Smagen er meget meget tung og blød. Meget sød og krydret. Og Fyldig iunden. Øllen er for stærk, og er slet ikke så frisk som en øl gerne må være. Gæren kan kun let anes. Alcohollem er tydelig, og øllen bliver vammel efterhånden som den bliver varmere. Ikke megen kulsyre.

Bottle shared by BgThang. Thanks Ken! Pours dark brown with a light beige head. Smell is sweet caramel and wheat. Taste is sweet, oxidized, perhaps and wheaty. Too sweet all around though, and I wasn’t a fan of this one.

superflashgo (9) - Vancouver, Washington, USA - AUG 19, 2007 does not count
UPDATED: AUG 20, 2007 The head is big and beige. Dark brown, almost black with a little deep reddish brown. Something off and tinny in the aroma. Coffee and tanned leather aroma. Caramel and burnt coffee flavor. Some fruit in the taste...maybe apricot. Goes down warm. The sweetness seems to come from unfermented sugars, and not in a good way. Medium/heavy bodied beer. That tinny smell catches my nose with every drink, very distracting.
