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.

22 oz. bottle. Bottled in 2006. A muddy mahogany pour with a thick, creamy mocha head. Rich aroma of wheat bread, raisins, bananas, peanut butter cups and cinnamon. Thick, full body. Alcohol is noticeable throughout. Unfortunately, there is also a sour taste (normally associated with brown ales and those that try to include nutty flavors) that is also present throughout. Otherwise, this beer features plenty of dark, wheaty malts, caramel, cocoa, cinnamon and spices, raisins and bananas. A slightly dry finish. If it weren’t for the sour, nutty taste, this would be a fantastic beer.

22 oz bottle at a Nertz party. One of the favorites of the night. Sweet aromas with hints of banana. Dark fruit flavors with some spice and more banana. Very very good

22 ounce bottle courtesy of mcbackus. Thanks! Reddish brown color with a minimal head. Very bready aroma with some banana notes. Taste is very similar with some caramel and nutty notes as well. Medium body.

Crushed with Jakebra. Very interesting. Smells like a bourbon barrel. Flavor is sweet but finishes surprisingly hoppy. My first Weizen Bock, but I’m digging the style based on this one.

Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Dark brown to black with beige head. Raisins, burnt notes, malty, liquorice and anis seed to the nose. Sweetish, dull taste.

<i>Bottle &#40;bomber&#41; from &#216;lbutikken</i>. Dark copper, small head. Burnt sugar, some dark fruits, no wheat character whatsoever. Medium bodied and smooth, quite sweet. Had it next to Aventinus, which kicked as with this quite crappy brew.
