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.

MrBunn (2006) - Western, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 24, 2009

Bomber. Pours a dark brown with some reddish highlights and a thin tan head. Aromas are a splendid mix of dark fruit and brown sugar. Flavor is more of the same... heavily sweet with a nice prune finish to it. This is really much better than I expected... don’t know if the flavor has blossomed with age or what, but this is plenty good stuff. Alcohol is not hiding from anyone. Wish I had another bottle.

This thing held up well. pours out a darker brown color with a beige head. aroma was sweet and malty. Flavor had wheat and alcohol all though it, though it wasnt terrible by any stretch of the means.

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.

AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

MrRain (472) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - MAR 15, 2009

750ml bottle poured into a tulip. AT pours dark brown with reddish tones. The head is medium with large rubble. The aroma is sweet, like molasses with a yeasty undercurrent. The body is very thick and oily and has a contrasting hop bite. The overall quality of the beer is fine. It’s really not very wheat-like though. It’s pretty sweet and reminds more more of a barley wine or double than it does a weizen bock.

Bottle. Retired ayy? LET DOWN. Pours a dark brown body. Aroma is strong alcohol. Taste is same.

Pwn3d (1847) - Manhattan, New York, USA - MAR 10, 2009

750ml bottle purchased at new beer. Pours dark brown with ruby hint. Dry, toffee, cocoa, but not bready/clovey enough for a weizen bock IMO. Overall, nothing really interests me which was disappointing. Tastes overly boozy. Aventinus takes its brass one and absolutely shames this sucker.
