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.

DavidP (1745) - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 7, 2006
Bottle. Dark brown body, tan foamy head. Brown sugar, fruity caramel, bubblegum sweetness and alcohol in the aroma. Very fruity flavor - apple/strawberry along with citric acid over sweet caramelly malt. Good mouthfeel. I like the combination of fruit and sweet malt on this guy.

heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - JAN 12, 2008
Very dark brown body with some ruby highlights at the edge. The head is yellowish khaki. The aroma is chocolate covered cherries with some cough syrup. There is some honey character. The taste is milk chocolate with some light prunes in the background. There is some noticeable alcohol in the cough syrup finish. Something I expect from Avery. Man, this is a biig beer that slaps you in the face.

whaleman (2175) - North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 14, 2006
Courtesy of crilg. Clear bronze body and a clingy, buffy tan head. Aroma of black pepper, clove, faint rubber, toffee, rum raisin, vanilla, and sweet malt. Flavor is initially medium sweet with rum and black cherry characters. Sweetness builds and becomes a little cloying. Decent beer, definitely worth revisiting in a few months.

SoLan (1550) - Florida, USA - APR 20, 2007
Dark multi brown with a small, light tan cap. Aroma is a nice combination of spicy, fruity yeast, toasted cocoa powder and toffee, and some bread. Subtle, crisp hops also. Malt dominates the flavor- chocolate, cookies, toffee, toastiness, the same spicy, fruity yeast and crips hops in the background. Medium/full body, balanced carbonation. Solid.

Illini08 (541) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - SEP 26, 2006
Bomber. Pours a brownish color with a bit of a head. Interesting beer. Aromas reminded me of a dunkelweizen. Estery aromas as well as some roasted malt notes. Vanilla and malt flavor with some decent sweetness as well. I’d like to try this again.
