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.

Poured a very dark brown almost black with an oily appearance. Nose is sweet with a hint of the abv with some malts. Flavor follows the nose. Big and full with a nice bite to it. Sweet but not cloying with some licorice notes. A dessert weisen? Pretty tasty

Thanks to blutt59 for sharing this bottle. Didn’t think I would get to try this one nearly five years after it was released. The beer pours a dark brown color with a brown head. The aroma is heavy on the toffee and caramel malt notes, with a little bit of wheat mixed in as well. The flavor has a lot of toffee, wheat and caramel. I also get quite a bit of brown sugar, making the beer fairly sweet. The alcohol is very well hidden for a beer of this strength. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

FunkyBrewster (1316) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 10, 2010
Bomber shared with 17thfloor. Pours a deep hazy brown with a small creamy light cream colored head. Aroma is very sharp roasted malts over a caramel and nutty note. Definitely a vinegar note and a sharp boozy overripe fruity character. Flavor starts with a caramel candy sweetness, toffee, nutty, dark roasted malts, more of the overripe fruit and a sharp winey note along with the acidity. Medium body and a sharper carbonation. Interesting aged beer, I wonder what it tasted like fresh, hmmmmmm

Found some old notes. (7/14/07). Bottle. Poured a deep brown with a brown head. Nose is very malty with some caramel. Flavors of malt, dried fruit, and caramel. Pretty good.

I would not have pegged this for a wheat bock- but oh well... pours a deep ruby red, with little head. Aroma of bananas from the yeast... also toasted malt. Full bodied beer, with a sweet malty flavor. Alcohol is in full force on this one. Very good beer, but I’m not sure if I’m a fan of high alcohol bocks yet. 9.5% might be a bit much... adds to much alcohol to the flavor and the residual sweetness is a little more than I expected.

Rusty (1509) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - MAR 12, 2008
Pours a clear brownish black with a little white head. Aroma of rasins, yeast, and spices. Flavor is rasins, malt, yeast, fruit with a very watery mouthfeel. This is pretty good but not great.
