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 a clear brownish black with a little white head. Aroma of rasins, yeast, and spices. Flavor is rasins, malt, yeast, fruit with a very watery mouthfeel. This is pretty good but not great.

Pours a deep ruby with a medium tan head. Aroma has a faint yeasty and malty sweetness. Flavor is sweet and caramely like a doppelbock but with a twinge of sour wheat character reminiscent of a weizenbock. Like the name suggests, it’s sort of a hybrid of the two styles, and it works well. Unique and enjoyable.

22 oz. brown bomber bottle. I didn’t see a freshness date, but that doesn’t mean much. This beer is very, very fresh. Poured out a dark chocolate brown, with red highlights around the edges. It has a decent mocha colored sticky head on it. It leaves a decent lacing down the sides of the glass also. Aromas are of toffee, caramel wheat malt, slightly roasty also. Flavors are incredible. Caramels, toffees, malts, brown sugar, cookie dough, with a hint of raisins also. Thick, rich body, chewy texture & mouthfeel. Almost a meal in a glass. Alcohol is well hidden underneath all those malts. I think I detect a decoction mash here gang. Just enough hops to balance the sweetness of the malts. Hersbrucker or Hallertau hops in the mix. Damn good beer overall. Best effort from Avery in awhile. Make this a regular offering, guys. I’m impressed.

Interesting stuff. Hazy dark reddish. Thin head with some lacing. Sour taste in palate, cherries and a woody taste also in palate. later in the mouthfeel is a strong full bodied chocolatey taste. Aroma is of dark fruit.

Dark brown small beige head. Completely off the style of being a weizenbock main flavors are chocolate , caramel and crystal malts. Some banana faint in the background along with a nutty toasted malt flavor but this was pretty much a dopplebock with weizen yeast, not bad but not a weizen bock either.

Flaske: Overraskende frisk. Flot dybrød/brun næsten uigennemsigtig øl med et lille skumhoved. God duft af bær og en smule hvede. Smagen er domineret af balanceret alkohol på den gode måde. Bitter finish. Oloroso karakter med en tør eftersmag. Virkelig godt lagret. Super øl.
