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.

Glouglouburp (4558) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 21, 2007

Cloudy brown body with a long lasting small tan head. Nose is earthy, cloves and even a little nutmeg. I expected a dirty heavy bock but I was surprised by the soft silky body and its soft carbonation. Pleasantly soft body I’d say. Taste is rather complex or all-over-the-place depending at how you look at it. Tropical fruits under dry chocolate. Well hopped with woody and floral hops. Every sips I got different kind of fruity flavours. I won’t even bother listing them all. Spices are a bit less apparent in the taste but are there nonetheless. Finish has an interesting mix of cacao, woody flavours and floral hops. No alcohol presence. Interesting and original. 13 an unlucky number? Pfff. I’m about as superstitious as a pocket calculator.

Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, molasses / bread, roadsted, toffee, light alcohol. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light bitter with a long duration. Very nice balance ! Body is full, texture is oily, syrupy, carbonation is soft, finish feel is light alcoholic.
