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.

22oz bottle. Pours a dark murky brown with a fizzy beige dome. Toasted malt, dark fruits and coffee dominate the nose while the finish is slightly bitter and tingles the palate.

dark opaque brown with no head. peanut butter, banana, and dark malt aroma. spicey, light wheat beer joined with the dark strong boldness of a doppelbock. licorice, banana, prune, and chocolate in flavor. excellent example of a great style of beer.

650 ml bottle. Dark red/brown body with a thin beige head. Aroma has sweet malt, liquorices and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, slightly roasted, caramel and alcohol. Nice but pretty straightforward in a way.

Good gravy, this is one malt-tastic beer. Deep brown body with a modest, fairly frothy head. The wheats really come through in a powerful way, and the chocolate breadiness makes this one chewy beer. It’s almost too much for me, impressive though I find the craft. Nice dry finish. Slight imbalance to me, but still a fine effort.

UPDATED: FEB 16, 2007 Pours a dark brown, with a medium sized fizzy head. Kind of a grainy chocolate aroma. Flavors of bananas, some chocolate, wheat bread, a little caramel, and an alcohol finish. Little hops to balance the brew. A decent beer.

hellbilly (2857) - scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA - MAR 15, 2008
pours the same color dark brown as the bottle. it’s topped by a rocky tan head with some light lacing. this smells of dark raisins, yeast, spice (possibly from the abv%) and metallic maltiness. the flavor is lightly bready with notes of brown sugar, spices, dark raisins and cocoa. alcohol is welcomed in the finish. aftertaste is fruity yeast... almost banana like. medium to full bodied, low carbonation and a nice smooth mouth feel.

beerbill (2850) - Laurel, New York, USA - JUL 22, 2007
22 oz. bottle. Pours a dark opaque brown with a thin, but long-lasting, linen white head. Pleasant aroma of toffee, caramel, a bit of chocolate, and raisins. Flavor is on the sweet side with plenty of toffee, caramel and malt along with some light chocolate and raisins. The smooth. almost silky mouthfeel is interupted by a strong alcohol burn. If the alcohol burn were toned down a bit, I would have liked this even better, but still very good as it is.

Picked this 22 ounce bomber up at Hi Time. The bar code didn’t scan, so they only charged me $1.67 for it. What a steal! This pours very dark brown with red highlights. The head is tan, and very meringue/creamy textured. The aroma is malty with some overripened fruit. The 9.5% ABV is beautifully hidden. The flavor starts out slightly sweet & tasty and finishes smoothly. All in all a very enjoyable beer.
