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.

frink (467) - coquitlam, British Columbia, CANADA - SEP 30, 2006
Dark brown with a thin head. Alcohol aroma, some dark fruits. Malty, big alcohol flavour, some fruits. The alcohol takes away from the flavour. I don’t get much weizen character.

SDalkoholic (1490) - Chula Vista, California, USA - MAY 25, 2006
A dark amber and mahogany color with foamy topping of head. Aroma is light with a smell of fruit, toffee and malt. The drink is complex ranging in a wide variety of flavors such as rasin, fig, caramel, and toffee. Aftertaste is similar to a decaf coffee and very sweet residue on the lips. All in all a nice bomber but not a style im really into.

TheBeerOrg (1979) - Crestwood, Kentucky, USA - JUN 26, 2006
Pours dark brown with ruby hues and fully receding tan head. Aroma of caramelized wort: plum, cloves, and spicy phenols. Taste is caramel, toffee, bubble gum, and clove. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy bodied with slightly sticky with soft carbonation. Not as pretty, a bit more syrupy, and less refreshing than the German examples, but still an enjoyable beer.

SpudClampDawg (1029) - Jasper, Indiana, USA - JUN 2, 2006
Pours with a great creamy head that becomes a mound of whipped cream in the glass. The aroma is really sharp - classic weizen yeast is almost acidic with esthery notes of banana, pear and apple. Light lemon and citrus hoppiness as well. At first sip, the body encompassed the same sharpness, but as the beer went I adjusted and this became real drinkable. Ripe banana and vanilla notes play with the solid bready malts. Leads into a long, enjoyable finish.

anders37 (9280) - Malmö, SWEDEN - APR 22, 2007
Bottle. Pours a dark clear amber color with a fast disappearing off-white head. Sweet malty yeasty and slightly alcoholic aroma. Sweet malty yeasty caramel flavor with a sweet malty wheat finish.

Arayaga2 (1435) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 22, 2006
Almost black with minimal white head, this stuff has a malty bananna aroma. Taste is an odd bitter malt with a hint of raisin, and alcohol burn going down. Too thin and astringent. $7/22oz

Thaichile (599) - 10aFly, New Jersey, USA - JUN 23, 2006
Bottle. 22oz. Pours a very dark brown with a poofy tan head. Wheat meets Starbucks meets Hershey Special Dark. Plenty of banana in the mix in conjunction with the rich java and chocolate flavors. Thick and creamy, this was a very nice sipper. Lightly sweet, drink it black just as it pours.

GaltScat (195) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - DEC 21, 2006
UPDATED: DEC 22, 2006 A little caramel head covered the darker caramel Weizen Doppelbock. The aroma was smooth caramel, coffee, and bananas. The aroma was rather mellow. Similar was the flavor; smooth mild chocolate and mild fruits. Almost no alcohol taste. Like other reviewers, I found the finish to be somewhat vinegar-like. The finish actually finished rapidly, leaving me wondering if I had even taken a sip.
