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.

A nice bock to be sure. The Thirteen pours a dark garnet color with a brown head that has decent retention. The aroma is very malty, brown sugar, and some alcohol. The flavors follow exaclty--caramel malt up front with a definite tinge of brown sugar. The alcohol feel in this one suprised me since it is only at 9.5--but nonetheless there is definitely some burn when you drink this one down.

hazy deep brown with tan head. nose of clove with some oxidation. some bitterness before yeast-derived clove esters with some muting from the age. munich malt is present but not overwhelming. alcohol provides nice depth. overall a beer whose flavor may be somewhat muted due to the age, but the tempering of the alcohol results in a remarkably drinkable brew and a great version of the style

22oz bottle. Thanks Moejuck! Served in a Duvel tulip. Wow, deeper color than I imagined and a very nice aroma when the beer is poured. Aroma is salted brownies and a spicy yeastiness, caramel is around as well as vanilla ice cream. The flavor is interesting. Chocolaty, tart, estery, dark fruits, and some of that sharp peppery flavor that I got off the Avery Twelve, must be their house belgian strain. There is an abundance of malt flavor in the beer. This is a ballsy beer, big and rough with a fiery personality. It tries to beat you into submission instead of gently leading you, both get you to the same place, but I have to say I prefer the more gentle route. In the end, this is a nice beer, a very American example of the style.

ehhdayton (1188) - USA - SEP 29, 2006
Pours a brownish red with a small tan head. The aroma is malty with whiffs of banana and alcohol. The flavor has primarily a roasted quality with some hints at banana and dark fruit.

RichJ7 (1175) - Cullman, Alabama, USA - MAY 8, 2008
Opaque black pour with a quarter-inch beige head. Big, malty nose full of alcohol and sweet dark fruit. Flavor is much the same, dominated by chocolate, caramel, and alcohol. Man, this is rich. Nice warming brew with a pleasantly full mouthfeel This is wonderful.
