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.

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.

Suttree (3766) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - JAN 13, 2008
Courtesy of Stevo at Stevofest. Clear brownish red or mahogany. with a nice beige head. Fruity- apples, I think - and rum, plus a little cherry in the aroma. Flavor is rye-ish, plus some fruit and some subtle chocolate, as well.

caesar (3724) - Bunnik/Utrecht, NETHERLANDS - OCT 28, 2007
Bottled. I’m always quite hesitant with Avery brews. Some are absolutely fantastic, but others are quite disappointing (though not bad). So I did not expect a lot from this one, but it turns out to be very nice. Hazy redbrown color, medium off-white head. Aroma of chocolat, slight malty, slight yeasty. Strong malty taste, milk chocolat, caramel. Smooth and silky bod mouthfeel. Very nice.

ekstedt (3625) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - SEP 20, 2008
<i>Bottle (bomber) from Ølbutikken</i>. Dark copper, small head. Burnt sugar, some dark fruits, no wheat character whatsoever. Medium bodied and smooth, quite sweet. Had it next to Aventinus, which kicked as with this quite crappy brew.

notalush (3617) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JUL 25, 2006
Dark amber pour with impressive lacework - quite a complex aroma (of tart earthiness, port, cherry, fig, plum) that still manages to get overpowered by alcohol - quite sweet and fairly hot - bready, pastry-like flavors mingle with raisin and toffee - some spicy qualities and earthy notes give this a hint of belgian quad-like flavor - it’s pretty good, but a little too all over the place and alcoholic - this one needs some age on it.

blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - APR 22, 2010
Bottle, probably around 4 years old at this point. Pours deep deep reddish brown with a thin head. Sweet dark fruits and banana in the aroma, with a hint of spices and a light sherry-like oxidation. The flavor also shows a little bit of oxidation, but overall, this has held up well for a 4 year-old beer, and I don’t mind a little oxidation in older beers like this. Some dark fruity sweetness, toasted bread, light chocolate notes, and a hint of booze. Nice, I bet this was really good at about 1 year.

SledgeJr (3579) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - JUN 24, 2006
On tap at Brewski’s in Fayetteville AR. Dark, dark, brown with a thin quickly dying light brown head. Plums and raisins. The sweetness is big. No lacing here. A meaty beer. Big malt. As it warms, you get a slight chocolate aroma. Big alcohol nose with a big mouth. The side of your tongue actually burns. This furnace has heat.
