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.

Christian (8043) - Odense, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2008

Dark ruby with a firm off-white head. Complex aroma featuring figs and dates, licorice and molasses, and some bready munich maltiness. Sweet and fruity flavour, vineous and thick. Licorice and malt in a dry finish. The alcohol feeling falls somewhere between warming and burning. I suppose this is my first wheat wine

pnista (1007) - Bloomington, Indiana, USA - MAY 11, 2008

Pours a warm reddish clear brown black with a greyish tan head of small even bubbles. The nose is sweet and lightly alcoholic. A bit of roast, fruity esters. Dark malt character. A bit of chocolate, largely clean. Creamy full mouthfeel, rather pleasant. Rather substantial, not watery, nice and creamy. The flavor is in line with the nose. Big ass malt sweetness ala Avery. The alcohol is Avery also. A bit too sweet, but that’s not my main problem. Diacetyl. Creamy dark fruit, alcohol, fruity esters. This is really like a weizen bock on crack. The sweetness toned back and the alcohol reigned in and this could be a nice enough beer. A bit of banana, alcohol, and bread in the finish. Enjoyable enough, but I’m happy to split the bottle!
