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.

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.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of dark bread, toasted and mild coffee, light notes of perfume and earth for the hops and yeast, with raisin and a faint spice smell in the background. Head is small and wispy with a yellowish white color. The head is fully diminishing and has no lacing. Color is a dark brown. Flavor is heavily sweet and lightly acidic to start and finishes moderately sweet, lightly acidic and bitter, and both sour and salty. Palate is medium to full, creamy almost syrupy and has a lively carbonation. It finishes metallic, lightly astringent and moderately alcoholic. Sweet and a bit of a thin feeling at the end of each sip, a some unwanted aftertastes were downfalls, but still a good drinker.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
[Vintage 2006]
Pours a very deep mahogany with a small creamy yellowish head. Aroma is powerful, sweet roasted malts, lots of plums, slight berries and a touch of chocolate and a rum-like feeling to it. Exceptional creaminess. Flavour is equally stunning, lots of dark dried fruits, coupled with great, weel-adjusted viniousness and a slight roasty bitterness. Chocolate abounds in the aftertaste. Really wonderful!

Thick and rich and wonderful lager. Malt bomb to be sure. Great now, and don’t know if it will continue to improve.

22 oz bottle pours a deep brown with a thin off white head. Smells of sweet malt dominate the aroma. Taste is of ripe fruits, toasty malt, and sme spicy notes. The alcohol seems to be fairly well hidden.

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.

I think this one may be past its prime - Darker brown pour with a medium head (poured into an Aventinus glass). Aroma has some nice raisin, banana, wheat and strong spice. Flavor starts sweet and Weizenbocky (probably not a word), but gets flat and metallic very quickly. This one went from decent to boring to blah very quickly. Should have tried it earlier, but its not a top tier member of the style.
