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.

IrishBoy (3265) - Bakersfield, California, USA - AUG 27, 2007
Bomber from cbkschubert; Nose of licorice, caramel, and a molasses hint; clear dark cherry-brown with a medium cinnamon-tan, glass-lacing head; flavor of caramel, peppery spices, brown sugar, and molasses. Not near as good as Valley Brew Effingud (favorite Weisen Bock), but very decent and tasty!

unclemattie (3244) - Georgia, USA - AUG 30, 2006
Hazy dark reddish brown. Creamy light tan head. Heavy malt aroma. Chewy malt texture. Thick and thirst quenching. Extremely impressive. Variety of this style is intimidating due to this beer style.

Eyedrinkale (3214) - Astoria, New York, USA - AUG 25, 2006
Bomber. Almost black with a nice looking brown head that doesn’t last too long. Aroma is plum and black licorice. Taste is burnt caramel, apple and banana. This is a strange brew, as the body is a bit thin and the fruits are very fresh. I live Avery beers but only their American styles. I still wanna try this with a few year on it. Not that it’s an alcohol bome but when the fruits mature a bit.

hotstuff (3213) - Indiana, USA - SEP 28, 2006
Bottle. Small tan fizzy head that was mostly lasting along with a decent amount of lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and a dark ruby hue. Nose was mildly malty, sweet, fruity and spicy. Flavor was sweet, toffee, cocoa, bready, and spicy. Tingly palate. Medium body.

KAggie97 (3170) - Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA - JUN 16, 2006
Bottle. Pours a nice deep brown. Slowly de-cascading head of olive that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is, upon popping the top, like someone blew-up a gumball machine... really. Initial flavor is melted copper and stale bubblegum. As it warms, banana becomes more prominent. A rounded bready raspberry seems to imerge as well. Watery palate. Overall, I guess it’s okay. Simply lacks the assertiveness of an Aventinus.

deyholla (3154) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - OCT 6, 2009
Bottle. Poured near black with a slight red tinge and a thin light brown head. Aroma has a strong alcohol sent with some smokey malt characters. Flavor also has a bit of a harsh alcohol flavor that overwhelms the malty flavor. It may be past its peak at this point.
