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.

scraff (2118) - Baltimore, Maryland, USA - MAY 30, 2006
Deep rubyish brown, thin light tan creamy head. Nice nose of cocoa, bread, and banana, with softer tones of caramel, cherry, and toastiness. Flavor held more notes of cocoa, and banana, with a soft tangy underlying grapefruit hop bitterness to round it out. Medium bodied, zesty carbonation, soft, bittersweet finish. Happy 13th Avery! An interesting brew for you guys, but I like...

jimhilt (2112) - Bow, New Hampshire, USA - AUG 27, 2006
Pours with a two finger cream head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Deep mahogany color. Good carbonation and heavy bodied. Fruity, sour nose. Starts sweet, molasses, smooth, complex flavor, some sourness but finish is almost sweet and clean. High ABV is not noticeable. $7.99 for a 22oz bottle from Hi-Time Cellars Costa Mesa, Ca.

Dorwart (2110) - Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA - JUL 5, 2006
Good sized dense head of fine off-white bubbles. Reduces slowly. Minimal carbonation. Roasty aroma with a bit of chocolate and dark fruit. Color is a very dark ruby brown. Fruity and malty. Some prunes and dates along with a big helping of roasted malts and a touch of coffee at the finish. Some spices present. Noticable alcohol warming. Pretty sweet and a little unsettling. A little bitterness at the finish and a lingering smoky aftertaste. Decent but is not sitting well in the stomach.

22 oz bomber. Pours a brownish mahogany reddish color with a thick creamy beige head. Aroma is pleasantly malty with hints of dark chocolate,winter spices,dark fruit and freshly baked wheat bread. Taste is malty from the beginning with hints of dark fruit-dates,plums,prunes,dark chocolate,toffee,warm dough bread and fresh yeast. Excellent overall and quite different.

pilsnerrogge (2107) - Finspång, SWEDEN - JUL 22, 2007
bottle Dark brown with a thick, creamy head. Sweet aroma with notes of toffee, liquorice and tobacco. Flavour is very sweet with notes of anise, liquorice and alcohol. Too strong and sweet for its own good.

radiomgb (2078) - Peterborough, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 4, 2007
Dark ruby in colour, average sized beige head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light alcohol, caramel, light spice, dark fruits, some molasses. The flavour is quite malty, some noticable alcohol, earthy, wheaty, dark fruits. Fizzy mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes lingering, again some alcohol, mild sweetness. Not nearly as over the top as some of the other Avery beers, this one actually has some balance and is drinkable. Not bad.
