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....Pours a thinnish dark head, over a dark brown body.....nose of bready malt layers, with additional fruits.....tastes of many fruits and malts with hop presence. Mouthfeel excellent. These comment are from notes of a tasting done in August 2006.

22 oz Bomber-poured a dark ruby red color w/a moderate off white head. Sweet roasted malt finish. Average taste of sweet roasted malt. Some bread dough & molasis. Smelled a lot better than it tasted, kind of bland & one dementional. Alcohol was evedent. Nice mouthfeel, but it just didn’t deliver for me. Not up to Avery’s usual standard.

Pours a very dark brown with a light tan head. A dark chocolately aroma with caramel in there as well, some roastiness. Nice sweetness. Don’t notice the alcohol much, but does warm.

Bottle, shared by jarspag with Maheu and myself during the January ski trip to Mammoth. This one has a ruby maroon color with a medium tan head. Interesting aroma that is dry, fruity and roasty with a bit of a metallic astringency. Flavor is mostly plum, raisin, and toffee, finishing with caramel malt sweetness and a light roast. Pretty good with a few years on it, wish I could have tried it fresh.

Dark brown pour with a long lasting, yet small tan head. Strong banana and clove aroma, with some yeast and an alcohol presence that just permeates through it all. Yeasty and spicy taste, lots of dried fruit, plum. Some dough/chocolate notes come through in the middle and the end is a pretty agressive blast of alcohol. I think it’s better than Aventinus actually. There is a lot to enjoy here. The big alcohol presence encourages slow sipping and it’s complexity increases delightfully as warmed.
