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.

Its a red mahogany color and the head is huge, golden and creamy. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and a little fruit. The flavour is sweet, for a moment I find it very sweet, fruity, spicy and it has notes of roasted malt, licorice and the finish is long and lightly bitter. I kind of like this one, but then again it is a bit dominating in the overall impression and it should be more wheaty. 1722

Burnet caramel, alcohol, marzipan, some floral notes and vinous fruits in the salty aroma. Clear, dark, mahogany brown body is topped by a low tan head that recedes to cover. Sweet flavour has plenty of nutty marzipan, dark pit fruits, molasses, caramel and alcohol. Some dark malt bitterness in the finish. Medium body with low carbonation and strong alcohol warming. Bottle sampled with BeerPrince, CapFlu, frink and Oakes.

Aroma of burned sugar, raisins, portwine, hints of Worcestershire sauce. Very dark brown with shades of chestnut. Small big bubbled head which fades away quickly. Flavor is dominated by dark caramel, prunes, sugar and alcohol. Long warming finish with some bitterness leading to a slightly watery finish. Pleasant texture and low carbonation. Overall a very nice beer with a pleasant alcohol burn in the finish.

Dark brown. Very alcoholic taste, almost like church wine, but still pretty good. Had at Tulley’s in Cincinnati with the family.

Near opaque black with a white head. Very smooth and tasteful, a fine bitterness and clear German style with some German yeast. Lots of caramel and some chocolate malt but not sweet and gladly not hopped up. Refreshing. A fine piece of craftmanship from Avery.

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.
