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.

This was an interesting beer. The color is quite dark for a weizenbock (more like a dunkelweizenbock). The aroma smells sweet, with a little wheat aroma, and some roasted flavors. The flavor is surprisingly "dark" tasting - interesting caramelized sugars, roasted bitter flavors - uncharacteristic of traditional weizenbock. It is quite malty sweet and not particularly wheaty tasting. The yeast also does not smell or taste like traditional weizen yeasts. A very intriguing beer - it was very good (though not what I expected from the style). It is also quite strong (though the alcohol is well hidden in the flavor).

Bottle. A Christmas present thanks. Poured a dark frothy color with very little head. Has the smell of molasses. The taste of molases and carmel. Very good beer.

22 oz bomber purchased at Oak Tree. Pours a deep dark brown with ruby highlights and a small bubbly medium beige head. Fantastic sweet aroma of raisins, dark fruit, cane sugar, slight wheat, molases and dark rum. Full bodied that is slightly creamy but really fills your entire mouth and is very chewy with strong carbonation. Flavor of sugar, raisin, slight coccoa, grains and a touch of alcohol. The only thing better then drinking this beer is knowing that the Vikings are about to win the 2007 NFC wildcard spot by beating the Redskins, hopefully.

UPDATED: FEB 9, 2008 bottle. I’m glad I found this beer the other day at my local beer store... definitely wanted to try this before it’s gone for good. Aromas of sweet malts and licorice. Notes of coffee and caramel. Very sweet and tasty. A bit of alcohol at the back of the mouth. Good indeed.

Bottle. Very dark brown pour with a thin tan head. Aroma of dark fruit and spice. Both also in flavor along with roasted malt, chocolate and biscuit. Incredible mouthfeel; creamy and smooth with a wonderfully soft finish. Great, great beer. I only wish I had more. Much more.

On tap @ Avery - three year old keg. Really great nose of damp earth, rasins. Upfront flavor is really weizen-esque, and really complex - sweet, rich with various fruits (strawberry, some plum), and some spicy toffee. Our whole table (most new to craft beer) wanted full pints, but they’re only offering tasters, so stuck with multiples of those. never had it fresh, but with 3 years on it, it’s superb.
