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.

TomDecapolis (4000) - Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 16, 2006
Pours a dark brown with some ruby red coming through. Small bubbly light tan head that left some lacing and although small, sustained. Aroma of roasted malt, dark fruits, caramel, banana, some hints of citrus. Flavor of molasses, citrus, wheat, banana, chocolate, prunes and roasted malts.

5000 (3998) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - MAR 30, 2007
Bottle: Dark brown, hues of burnt caramel, moderate to large frothy beige head, fairly nice lacing.   Rich bready nose, some biscuit and nuts, semi-sweet malts, grainy caramel, soft soy... there is a lot to this one!   Big bready start, heavy dark pitted fruit, a bit sweeter than the nose and the fruit is a bit more unripened.   Some nuts, dates, caramel is in there too.   I am quite impressed with this one.   Big in body, full to moderate mouthfeel.   Light alcohol on the finish, remains very bready, somewhat heavy even.   Lingering dark pitted fruit, although a bit muted.   Warming to say the least.   Clean, no funk at the finish.   A little biting, could be it being green or the alcohol, but totally within its boundaries.   I really enjoyed this one!   Thanks Bill for the bottle!

thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - NOV 11, 2007
Bottle. Dark reddish brown with a medium beige head. Complex fruity aroma promising raisins and alcohol as well as marcipan. Raisins and nutty flavours, delicious licorice. Full-bodied and soft. A treat.

presario (3977) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - APR 12, 2007
Long lasting head. Rings of foam lacing left around the glass. Very dark brown lets very little direct light through. Strong malt aroma with some yeast. As it warms some intriguing brown sugar scents come through. Thick malty body. Sweet malty flavour. Some yeast and alcohol notes. Thick combination of flavours: chocolate, licorice, toffee and brown sugar.

TheBeerGod (3960) - Newport News, Virginia, USA - OCT 7, 2006
Bottle. Deep mahogany. Small rapidly vanishing tan head. Nose is dark malts, light chocolate and pumpernickel bread. Soft banana and a touch of alcohol. Taste is bready and malty with sweet notes, chocolate, soft banana, light bubblegum notes and alcohol. Body is light-medium, mild carbonation and lots of alcohol warmth. Finishes with lots of chocolate, burnt dark malts, light dark fruit flavors, alcohol and candy notes. Not bad but a little hot right now.

PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 25, 2007
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.

thirdeye11 (3910) - Dallas, Texas, USA - AUG 14, 2011
(22oz bomber thanks to blutt59) clear rich brown with a few tan bubbles. Nose of raisin, vanilla, rum, and a bit oxidized/papery. Taste of chocolate, fudge, a bit of oxidation but appropriate here. Well carbonated with a medium thick body.

CapFlu (3767) - Victoria, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 26, 2006
(660ml bottle) The kings of high alcohol beers - good grief?!?! Boozy, fruity malt nose. Too strong - almost gasoline fuel. Not to bad a burn considering the ABV. My biggest problem with this brewery is that they CAN BREW but choose to compete in a childish Who can make the highest ABV annual? Ridiculous.
