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.

douglas88 (3483) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - MAR 5, 2009

Bomber thanks to dchmela. Pours a dark ruby hue with a medium brown head. The aroma is fruity, lots of fruity German malts. Reminds me a bit of Celebrator Dopple, and that’s a good thing. The flavor is fairly fry, dusty, lots of sweet fruits, prunes, berries, strawberry, a huge malty aspect washes over it all. Bready and yeasty. Very little alcohol warmth. A very nice powerful lager. Very enjoyable.

hapjydeuce (854) - San Diego, California, USA - JAN 29, 2009

Bottle, shared by jarspag with Maheu and myself during the January ski trip to Mammoth. This one has a ruby maroon color with a medium tan head. Interesting aroma that is dry, fruity and roasty with a bit of a metallic astringency. Flavor is mostly plum, raisin, and toffee, finishing with caramel malt sweetness and a light roast. Pretty good with a few years on it, wish I could have tried it fresh.

drjay44 (1614) - Salida, Colorado, USA - JAN 27, 2009

22 oz bottle....Pours a thinnish dark head, over a dark brown body.....nose of bready malt layers, with additional fruits.....tastes of many fruits and malts with hop presence. Mouthfeel excellent. These comment are from notes of a tasting done in August 2006.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

sayravai (4526) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JAN 1, 2009

(Bottled, 0.66l) Very dark reddish brown with a small, tanned head. Sweetish, banana-estery aroma with mild roastiness and some fusely alcohol. Fruity and peppery-spicy flavor with moderately roasted malt, and a quite strong, burning alcohol presence. Medium, slightly thin body can’t quite hide the alcohol. Lowish carbonation. Quite Imperial Stout -like (hoppy and roasty) for a Weizen Bock. Not bad, but deserves a big minus for the alcoholic feel. Gets more tolerable with yeast, though.
