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.

illinismitty (2239) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - JAN 13, 2008
Sampled at Stevofest 08, courtesy of Suttree. Pours deep brown with a tan head. Aroma of banana esters and dark wheat. Medium to full bodied. Flavor of dark wheat malt, raisen, banana bread, and a hint of tobacco. Lacks some balancing residual sweetness (quite a surprise from Avery). Some alcohol detected on the finish. Not a bad weizenbock, but not as good as Scheider Aventinus.

dchmela (2218) - Orlando, Florida, USA - JAN 21, 2008
Pours thick and black with almost no head. Big chocolate malt, roasted malt, wheat, and port aroma. Smooth thick chocolate malt roasted malt taste with an after dinner drink smoothness reminiscent of port. Finishes nice and dry, this ages very nicely.

redlight (2209) - Winter Park, Florida, USA - MAY 23, 2008
Caramelly and chocolatey on the nose. Pours dark brown with a thin white head. Caramel and molasses dominate the flavor, its very smooth but i can taste the age in it.

Beerdedone (2188) - Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 15, 2006
Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours brown with a large tan head. Aroma of bananas and alcohol. Flavor is bananas and caramel. The alcohol goes down undetected. Great beer.

whaleman (2175) - North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 14, 2006
Courtesy of crilg. Clear bronze body and a clingy, buffy tan head. Aroma of black pepper, clove, faint rubber, toffee, rum raisin, vanilla, and sweet malt. Flavor is initially medium sweet with rum and black cherry characters. Sweetness builds and becomes a little cloying. Decent beer, definitely worth revisiting in a few months.

NYHarvey (2153) - New York, New York, USA - OCT 25, 2006
The aroma is a sort of rum-soaked raisin, plum, malt melange with hints of chocolate, spice and raisin liquor. The body is a dark mahogany with a firm and creamy, but thin tan head. Alcohol is the first thing you taste followed by cocoa, roasted malt, raisin and mild banana fosters notes. The finish is quite boozy and I’ve let this bottle sit a while. This is like the third time I’ve had this beer and I feel comfortable saying it’s a tad hot. Bearably hot, but less enjoyable for even so.

nimbleprop (2126) - SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA - SEP 20, 2006
Poured black with brown hues from the bomber with a nearly non existent white head. Looks kind of like flat diet coke. When the bottle first openned I smelled strong vanilla, in the pint glass it smelled sweet and malty. Initial flavor has some vanilla, good malt, only slightly roasted. The sweetness is nice but not overwhelming. You can definitely feel the alcohol on the after taste which is clean despite the heat. It’s Avery, you’ll like it.

bager (2121) - Copenhagen N, DENMARK - OCT 15, 2006
Bottled. Very dark brown coloured with a small head. Roasted and malty with notes of dark fruits and caramel. SLightly hoppy. Very round and nice. Just like me.
