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.

Bottle pours a clear deep brown. A small light tan head. Aromas are chocolate and wheat bread. Sweet like licorice and tootsie rolls. Easy on the hop bitterness as expected with a\some dark fruitiness as well. Slightly alcohol and a bit fumy at the end. Finishes smooth ans soft. Nice.

(on bottle)Colabrown, semihazy, no head. tha aroma is pretty straight forward bock-nose; wood, figs, moscuvado and a ton of malt. Soft mouthfee, bit sugarish, not a complex taste, full and barleyheavy. All the way through the drink, the alcohol ispretty dominat. Has poblems detecting ay wheatnotes.

22 oz bottle pours a deep brown with a thin off white head. Smells of sweet malt dominate the aroma. Taste is of ripe fruits, toasty malt, and sme spicy notes. The alcohol seems to be fairly well hidden.

Lots of alcohol and dried fruit on the nose of this dark brown beer. Noticeable alcohol on top of the wheaty and rye like flavour. Bready with some nice spices and herbs to this chewy goat. Decent beer but just not my thing.

JB175 (1665) - Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 18, 2007
I think this one may be past its prime - Darker brown pour with a medium head (poured into an Aventinus glass). Aroma has some nice raisin, banana, wheat and strong spice. Flavor starts sweet and Weizenbocky (probably not a word), but gets flat and metallic very quickly. This one went from decent to boring to blah very quickly. Should have tried it earlier, but its not a top tier member of the style.

RSRIZZO (1634) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - SEP 16, 2007
Had this beer on 6/2/2006. Aroma is a mild sweet malt scent. Color is a deep solid brown with good carbonation and thick tight head. Taste is rich and sweet. Starting with a medium body it goes down sweet with a rich feel. Finish comes on with the rich feel building and ending with a rich sweet caramel taste and a hint of bitterness. Great brew and an excellent Anniversary Ale. Its almost a Barley Wine.

22 oz bottle....Pours a thinnish dark head, over a dark brown body.....nose of bready malt layers, with additional fruits.....tastes of many fruits and malts with hop presence. Mouthfeel excellent. These comment are from notes of a tasting done in August 2006.
