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.

Lumpy (1802) - Carrollton, Texas, USA - JUN 19, 2006
Bottle. Dr. Pepper body with a medium ring of bubbles. Nose-very, very, very metallic with a hint of malt extract. Taste-raisin, fig, sweet, grape, brown sugar, very fruity, alcohol, cough syrup, bready. Reminds me of an Abt Quad with all the dark fruits and sweetness. The metal is way to persuasive. Although the individual scores do not reflect this, I liked it very much. The epitome of “the parts do not equal the sum”.

YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - JUN 26, 2006
Murky dark brown body is topped with a small, foamy tan head. Very aromatic. Cookie dough, banana, raisins, tart apple, clove, some chocolate, brown sugar. Medium body, low carbonation. The flavor was more in line with a classic doppelbock than a weizen. Good drink, nonetheless.

Defreni (1781) - Husum, DENMARK - JUL 19, 2009
Flaske: Overraskende frisk. Flot dybrød/brun næsten uigennemsigtig øl med et lille skumhoved. God duft af bær og en smule hvede. Smagen er domineret af balanceret alkohol på den gode måde. Bitter finish. Oloroso karakter med en tør eftersmag. Virkelig godt lagret. Super øl.

jerohen (1775) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - OCT 28, 2007
Dutch Ratebeer Meeting. Clear brown coloured, brown head. Lactic aroma, stout-like, some alcvohol, fruity notes. Sweet liquorice flavour. Lingering finish. Perhaps overly alcoholic in flavour.

11026 (1772) - Alabama, USA - AUG 14, 2006
Bottle. Deep ruddy brown in color and mostly clear. SMallish beige head persists for a good amount of time and leaves modest lacing behind. Aroma is pleasant, blending chocolate and wheaty esters nicely. Clove and ripe bananna seem to have a slight edge. A slight amount of alcohol is detectible in aroma. Medium bodied with a pleasant, medium carbonation level. Bits of chocolate, light caramel and clove in flavor. Slight alcohol burn. Nicely done.

Murphy (1759) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - MAY 25, 2006
Bomber. Pours a very very dark clear crimson, not much head, just a little bit of small bubbles. Mild aroma of bananna esters, alcohol, just a hint of peat. Subtle. Taste is sweet, fruity with lots of cherry and bananna up front. Light spices, corriander, cinnamon? Some vinous hints in there as well. Finish is slightly dry, a little toffee sneaks in. Body is full and sticky. This beer isn’t exactly my bag, but it’s well made and I think stylistically correct.

jrob21 (1752) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - JUL 1, 2006
I’m missing the floral aromas. I get more roasted malt and wheat smells. Pours a deep brown color with a never ending tan head. Tastes dry and slightly alcoholic. Grainy tastes as well with a slightly fruity finish. Fruits remind me of plums and cherries. Some chocolate and toffee tastes as well.

DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 7, 2006
Bottle. Dark brown body, tan foamy head. Brown sugar, fruity caramel, bubblegum sweetness and alcohol in the aroma. Very fruity flavor - apple/strawberry along with citric acid over sweet caramelly malt. Good mouthfeel. I like the combination of fruit and sweet malt on this guy.
