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.

Pours almost black with red tint when held to light and a very nice thick creamy layer of white foam that leaves lace. Palate is silky and gorgeous, not too thick not too thin. Very drinkable. Smell is smoky and chalky. Flavors are rich, malty, raisin, prune with some lingering delicate malt sweetness. Very nice! Re-rate = up from 3.8!

Dark brown with a fleeting head. Malty sweet smell of black licorice. Full bodied and very smooth. Good malt driven taste is sweet dark malt with a mild earthy smokiness. Alcohol is well cloaked. taste was better than i expected. 2207

A dark brown almost black pour with hints of red. Aroma of slight cherries, dates and hints of malt. Dark flavor and sweetness of molasses and hard hints of dried fruit. Full solid palate with good carbonation. Very solid complex flavor for me.

Thick, red-black opaque body with substantial light-tan head. Notes of cherry, brown sugar, barley, faint smoked sea salt. I’m fortunate that I found this now retired brew!

Pours thick and black with almost no head. Big chocolate malt, roasted malt, wheat, and port aroma. Smooth thick chocolate malt roasted malt taste with an after dinner drink smoothness reminiscent of port. Finishes nice and dry, this ages very nicely.

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.

Sampled at Stevofest 08, courtesy of Suttree. Pours deep brown with a tan head. Aroma of banana esters and dark wheat. Medium to full bodied. Flavor of dark wheat malt, raisen, banana bread, and a hint of tobacco. Lacks some balancing residual sweetness (quite a surprise from Avery). Some alcohol detected on the finish. Not a bad weizenbock, but not as good as Scheider Aventinus.

Courtesy of Stevo at Stevofest. Clear brownish red or mahogany. with a nice beige head. Fruity- apples, I think - and rum, plus a little cherry in the aroma. Flavor is rye-ish, plus some fruit and some subtle chocolate, as well.
