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.

jbrus (4989) - Delft, NETHERLANDS - OCT 31, 2007
Bottle@Home. Milky aroma with a hint of banana and lightly smoked, but also butterscotch and a hint of varnish. Dark brown color, beige head, fair lace. Light sweet, caramallized banana, licorice and chocolate. Soft and milky mouthfeel. Very nice, could use some complexity though.

Slick (1971) - Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA - OCT 9, 2006
Nice dark amber color,small tan head that had a good hang time then faded to leave a little behind.The aroma was malty with a nice roasty side some dried fruit maybe and a bit of chocolate possibly.The flavor was very nice with a nice roasty malty taste mildly sweet in the beginning with a good mild fruit and caramel taste coming on as well as a nice roasty side in the middle.The alcohol manages to stay pretty well hidden with just a hint in the tail end.Very nicely done brew and well worth having a few more which i’m glad i do.

JohnC (2846) - Mission Viejo, California, USA - JUN 2, 2006
Picked this 22 ounce bomber up at Hi Time. The bar code didn’t scan, so they only charged me $1.67 for it. What a steal! This pours very dark brown with red highlights. The head is tan, and very meringue/creamy textured. The aroma is malty with some overripened fruit. The 9.5% ABV is beautifully hidden. The flavor starts out slightly sweet & tasty and finishes smoothly. All in all a very enjoyable beer.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - NOV 5, 2006
Pours a dark mahogany with ruby hues and a large, frothy, nicely-lacing light tan head. Aroma has a good amount of sweet dark wheat and bready German yeasty notes with a touch of graininess and banana clove spice. Body starts sweet and viscous with nice authentic flavor and smooth malted wheatiness with a slightly drier, bready finish. Very true to style and enjoyable.

PorterPounder (3944) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - MAR 25, 2007
Ft. Myers, Fl. - Total Wines, 22 oz bomber. Dark amber pour, soft khaki head - leaves slight bubbly lacing. Exellent aroma of caramel, cotton candy, and some sweet smoked meat. Flavor is sweet, yet full-bodied. Caramel, toffee, milk chocolate - it’s all in there and blended together well. Some Christmas spices make their way into the back end. Very tasty. Mouthfeel is thick enough and the high abv is hidden well.

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...

22 oz bottle at a Nertz party. One of the favorites of the night. Sweet aromas with hints of banana. Dark fruit flavors with some spice and more banana. Very very good

Pours dark brown with a medium beige head. Spicy aroma with notes of dark matured fruits. Flavour is prunes and raisins mixed with cocoa, spices and alcohol. Brilliant.
