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.

LCRBM2: Banana and grapes in the almost vinous aroma and flavor. Brown sugar aftertaste. Indeed, not very subtle.

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!

22oz bottle-pours a big foamy to rocky tan head that laces with dark brown –red tint color. Aroma is medium malt, sweet-caramel, dark fruit. Taste is medium malt, sweet-caramel, alcohol, spice. OK effervescence. Splitting one beer with a friend would be plenty.

Smallish head covers the dark chesnut hue. Pretty much a malt monster though far better than the usual Avery at hiding its alcohol. The wheat comes across quite understated, the yeast on the other hand making for an important part of the flavor profile with its phenolic clovey nuances. Beyond that, rich and round breadiness, powdery chocolate and approaching pumpernickel. Warming palate, rather chewy and avoiding the syrupiness I might have feared. Rather subtle carbonation for a wheat ale, but that works in its aimings for the malt monster status. And somehow not too sweet. Congrats.

Pours a dark mahogany with ruby hues and a large, frothy, nicely-lacing light tan head. Aroma has a good amount of sweet dark wheat and bready German yeasty notes with a touch of graininess and banana clove spice. Body starts sweet and viscous with nice authentic flavor and smooth malted wheatiness with a slightly drier, bready finish. Very true to style and enjoyable.
