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.

markwise (2698) - North of Tampa, Florida, USA - MAR 16, 2008
Overall a very good complex beer. It pours a dark brown with a miniscule off-white head. Aroma smells of chocolate, molasses, and dark fruit. The head quickly dissolves and there you have all of these flavors in a light, flavorful, porter-like beer. It finishes as it starts, but with a tang of bitterness. I would definitely drink it again, if I found it.

hellbilly (2857) - scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA - MAR 15, 2008
pours the same color dark brown as the bottle. it’s topped by a rocky tan head with some light lacing. this smells of dark raisins, yeast, spice (possibly from the abv%) and metallic maltiness. the flavor is lightly bready with notes of brown sugar, spices, dark raisins and cocoa. alcohol is welcomed in the finish. aftertaste is fruity yeast... almost banana like. medium to full bodied, low carbonation and a nice smooth mouth feel.

Rusty (1509) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - MAR 12, 2008
Pours a clear brownish black with a little white head. Aroma of rasins, yeast, and spices. Flavor is rasins, malt, yeast, fruit with a very watery mouthfeel. This is pretty good but not great.

Bomber I found in the back of my cellar when looking for something that also has gold foil. So I thought why not pop this seemed to be as good of a time as any. Shared with my Girlfriend Cyn, this is pretty much only the 2nd big beer of the night. Appaently I bought this at South bay for 6 bucks a ways back. Pours blackish brown witha 1 finger tan head. Looks like a dopplebock, not a weizenbock to me. Nose is sweet and chocolaty. Taste mirrors the nose, nice, choco and sweet and rich. A very nice dopplebock, not a weizenbock in any way shape or form.

rederic (2269) - montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 4, 2008
Hazy dark brown hue, with a frothy beige head, yesty, fruity nose of banana, raisin, date, and fig, with a toasted, wheaty malt note, with some nutmeg, cloves spiced accents, within some chocolatey aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, wheaty, caramelized, toasted malt character, with a faint molasses accent, some dark dried dates, raisins and figs , with a clove, nutmeg spiciness, a nice chocolatey liqueurish warmth mouthfeel, leading towards a malty, fruity, acidic, dry finish.

Beershine (4561) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - MAR 1, 2008
UPDATED: APR 28, 2008 Pours almost black with red tint when held to light and a very nice thick creamy layer of white foam that leaves lace. Palate is silky and gorgeous, not too thick not too thin. Very drinkable. Smell is smoky and chalky. Flavors are rich, malty, raisin, prune with some lingering delicate malt sweetness. Very nice! Re-rate = up from 3.8!

decaturstevo (3387) - decatur, Tennessee, USA - FEB 5, 2008
A dark brown almost black pour with hints of red. Aroma of slight cherries, dates and hints of malt. Dark flavor and sweetness of molasses and hard hints of dried fruit. Full solid palate with good carbonation. Very solid complex flavor for me.
