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.

Ft. Myers, Fl. - Total Wines, 22 oz bomber. Dark amber pour, soft khaki head - leaves slight bubbly lacing. Exellent aroma of caramel, cotton candy, and some sweet smoked meat. Flavor is sweet, yet full-bodied. Caramel, toffee, milk chocolate - it’s all in there and blended together well. Some Christmas spices make their way into the back end. Very tasty. Mouthfeel is thick enough and the high abv is hidden well.

mgumby10 (1856) - Jupiter, Florida, USA - MAR 23, 2007
Pours a dark amber brown with very light to no head. Smell is pretty unique, definitely can tell this is a mix of styles. Some wheat, dark malts, banana, and dark fruit. Taste is more dopplebock than wheat but a nice version of one. Very malty with a hint of caramel. Even get a little light chocolate in the aftertaste. Relatively smooth. Pretty good.

dark brown with thin head. aromas of carmel, roasted malt, chocolate malt, white pepper, and some clove with some banana. wheat and yeast primarily dominate the flavor, with some chocolate, spice, and cloves. pretty decent.

Capa (1544) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 17, 2007
Poured deep brown with ruby highlights and a large tan head. Aroma was lightly toasted malt, molasses, alcohol, and spices. Flavor of molasses, roasted malt, spice and alcohol. Finishes with a nice dry warmth. Well blended, thoguh not overly complex. A solid beer, but not amazing. Would drink again, though.

pours a black brown with a two finger bubbly tan head. aroma is roasted malt, a little wheat, and some alcohol with a touch of hops and dark fruit. had a medium body with descent lacing and ok carbonation. flavor is roasted malt, a little wheat, and dark fruit with a touch of hops and alcohol. as it warms there is a yeasty bread aroma and flavor. not bad i guess for my first weizen dopplebock. little bit of black licorice aroma and flavor and coffee as well. very complex especially on the second glass. definitely feel a little warmth going down and body wise.

BeerFanDan17 (801) - Land O Lakes, Florida, USA - MAR 4, 2007
Delicious Doppelbock with all the rich and complex flavors you would expect from Avery. Similar to a Kostrizer, this dark Weizen is strong and smooth at first with dark chocolate, coffee, and malt flavors on the palate. Definitely worth a try!

crizay (1050) - Brook Park, Ohio, USA - MAR 3, 2007
Dark brown small beige head. Completely off the style of being a weizenbock main flavors are chocolate , caramel and crystal malts. Some banana faint in the background along with a nutty toasted malt flavor but this was pretty much a dopplebock with weizen yeast, not bad but not a weizen bock either.

Bottle. Red/brown. Yeasty aroma, fruity with a hint of banana. Very soft mouthfeel, high carbonation, flavour is dominated by fruit, bread and caramel. Though this is a good beer, I still prefer the german versions.
