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.

beerinmarch (2830) - Washington, USA - JUN 6, 2007

Rich doppelbock with a strong hop finish. Spicy and fruity sweetness amplified by a strong carbonation that brings the palate to life. Very heavy tasting on the palate, but the strong hop side of this cleans it all away. Quite a bit of excess alcohol shows.

zach8270 (2803) - Henrietta, New York, USA - JUL 6, 2007

(bottle - 22 oz) Ruby red color with a thin but creamy tan head. Aroma is very sweet with lots of raisins, caramel, toffee, and sweet malts. Flavor is very sweet and creamy with some sweetness, raisins, caramel, and a slightly bitter finish and aftertaste.

vyvvy (2798) - Florissant, Missouri, USA - JUN 21, 2006

Pours very dark brown with an attractive tan head. Aroma has heavy bananas, rich malt, bits of roastedness and decent bit of alcohol. Full bodied beer with soft carbonation. Thick malt taste that is quite roasty with dark banana flavor and no hiding of the alcohol here. The finish has some spice to it and some vinious qualities. The alcohol is just too prevalent throughout the whole experience to be very enjoyable to me. It seems like far too often raising the ABV takes higher priority than taste with Avery.

patrick767 (2772) - fort wayne, Indiana, USA - NOV 23, 2006

bottle - Pours dark brown with an aroma of malt, yeast, and banana. The flavor pretty well matches the aroma with some alcohol thrown in mainly in the finish. It goes down easy. This is a very tasty beer and worth trying.

harlequinn (2745) - Tacoma, Washington, USA - MAY 30, 2006

Pours a ruby-esque brown with a small creamy tan head. Strong wheaty bubblegome nose. Nice yeasty flavor that turns astrigent and metallic, with bits of caramel and toffee. This is very disappointing as far as Avery goes.

Mora2000 (2732) - Dallas, Texas, USA - FEB 12, 2011

Thanks to blutt59 for sharing this bottle. Didn’t think I would get to try this one nearly five years after it was released. The beer pours a dark brown color with a brown head. The aroma is heavy on the toffee and caramel malt notes, with a little bit of wheat mixed in as well. The flavor has a lot of toffee, wheat and caramel. I also get quite a bit of brown sugar, making the beer fairly sweet. The alcohol is very well hidden for a beer of this strength. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
