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.

Clear dark brown beer. Short lived tan head. Smooth malty caramel - chocolate with a banana streak. Silky spirity malt. A biting carbonation before the malty-spirity finish. A boozy bananoffee surprise!

I was skeptical about this 4 year old brew but it was very good. A- Pours a dark brown with ruby highlights and a beige head. light lacing. S- dark fruits. T- dark fruits, cherry chocolate. reminds me a of a quad. M- medium body, good carbonation. D- almost done with a bomber right now. this is a fairly big beer, but very enjoyable and i’d say 22oz is the perfect amount.

22 oz bottle. Dark brown with red tints and a thin beige coating. Nose is chocolate, banana and caramel. medium body with a tang. taste is chocolate, dates, wheat and burnt sugar. Smells great but the flavor is a bit of stale; not surprising considering the age.

Bomber shared with 17thfloor. Pours a deep hazy brown with a small creamy light cream colored head. Aroma is very sharp roasted malts over a caramel and nutty note. Definitely a vinegar note and a sharp boozy overripe fruity character. Flavor starts with a caramel candy sweetness, toffee, nutty, dark roasted malts, more of the overripe fruit and a sharp winey note along with the acidity. Medium body and a sharper carbonation. Interesting aged beer, I wonder what it tasted like fresh, hmmmmmm

Bomber thanks to funkybrewster. Pours a dark unclear chocolaty color with a small dense very light tan frothy head. Hello acetobactar, brown sugar and acetic acid, varnish, alcohol, boooooze. Flavor of dark chocolate tootsie roll, vinous, great oxidation notes, cherry, light dark fruits, some roast towards the finish, the acidity is mild, finishes fairly off-dry, new to me. Medium bodied, fine fizzy carbonation, sizzle consistent with the infection. Cool beer, would have loved to try one a few years ago.

Bottle pours dark brown sugar color with off white head. Aroma is caramel, brown sugar, and some oxidation. Medium mouthfeel. Its smooth, flavorful, and makes me want more. This is a great brew.

Bomber. Aged just over four years. Dark brown with small tan head. Aroma is toffee, molasses boozy, sweet dark chocolate, lots of roast, darker breads, earthy tones, raisin and other dried fruits. Taste is molasses cocoa booze with light roast in back. Roasted dried fruit finish goes dry and sticks long on tongue. Light nutty character. Sweetness is toned down. Great brew.
