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.

Tons of grape aroma. Dark dark amber color - almost brown. Nice smooth palate. Little alcohol flavor as this one warms up. I know that’s a big surprise from Avery(tongue in cheek). This is good and I’m not usually a big bock fan. Lots of flavors but in all honesty I’m unable to seperate them from one another. They blend together nicely.

Bomber: Aroma permeates with dark fruit, a nice spicy caramel malt overtone, toffee, licorice, a slight scent of chocolate, and a bit of alcohol. Appearance is a deep ruby color with a medium sized tan head that diminishes into a film. Taste is got a really nice malt characteristic, wheat, and on the backend the spices come through. Palate is lightly sweet on the lips, somewhat tongue coating, and aftertaste has a lingering fruity malt characteristic. Overall, an enjoyable beer to say the least. Nice aroma, looks inviting, and a nicely complex taste. Cheers!

Bomber, pours a very dark ruby with off-white bubbles, lots of sweetness with dark malt aromas, aroma of a fruitcake made with raisins and prunes, fruit, roasted malt, dark bread, some chocolate fragrance, a touch of alcohol on the nose, syrupy sweet and a sticky feel in the mouth, taste of dark malt, some brown sugar, has some dark bread and wheat flavors but disappointing, the flavor does not follow the aromas, there is a dry finish but it starts out thick and creamy and kind of oily syrupy on the palate, can sense the alcohol in the sip, as this warms the alcohol monster takes over, unfortunately, the flavor did not live up to the aroma, this ‘13’ is very unlucky.

Tasted in Boulder. Obtained from a nice liquor store in Boulder servicing the CU crowd. Tasted in a hotel bathroom glass. I have had the Eleven and Twelve, lucky Thirteen? Colour is deep brown slightly reddish with a thin wispy brown / tobacco coloured head. Aroma is sweet, with hints of fruit, berries and burnt sugar. Flavour is on the really sweet side, with a slight metallic finish and minimal bitterness.

I got lots of spice, some banana and chocolate in the aroma. Tasted like that too, but had a slight metalic aftertaste. Odd style, but it was very good.

Pours a very dark amber with a medium light tan head. Nice carbonation and decent lacing. Aroma is wonderful. Sweet rich candied malts, light spices, and a tad rummy. Flavor is heavy cake malts, spices, and yeasts. A full rich mouthfeel with a spicy bitterness in the finish.

[bottle] Pours cloudy brown with a very small tan head. Aroma is soy sauce, malt, bittersweet chocolate. Flavor is similar to the aroma. Nice, rich mouthfeel with the perfect amount of carbonation.
