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.

desurfer (1154) - Annapolis, Maryland, USA - AUG 20, 2006
Pours a deep ruby with a medium tan head. Aroma has a faint yeasty and malty sweetness. Flavor is sweet and caramely like a doppelbock but with a twinge of sour wheat character reminiscent of a weizenbock. Like the name suggests, it’s sort of a hybrid of the two styles, and it works well. Unique and enjoyable.

Thick and rich and wonderful lager. Malt bomb to be sure. Great now, and don’t know if it will continue to improve.

SpringsLicker (2486) - Tennessee, USA - JAN 17, 2008
Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing this one at his recent tasting. Pours a deep mahogany with a thin off-white head. Rich malt aroma, some banana. Sweet dark caramel overwhelms the flavor, but is good none the less. Good, with a full bodied, smooth delivery and finish.

thedm (4116) - Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA - NOV 18, 2006
This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a very large sized head of foamy light brown colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent strongly carbonated dark caramel brown colored body. The aroma was malty sweet and mild wheat. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a lingering vinous aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt sweet vinous and mild caramel. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.
