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.

Had on tap at Jackie O’s Anniversary Party. Was actually given this beer for free. That always makes it better, no? I love them sweet and malty so this one was a keeper. Sweety flavors of vanilla, brown sugar and toast. Slight hop finish. Loved it.

Pours a dark brown colour with a medium creamy tan head. Nose of alcohol, dark fruits and roasted malts. Initial taste of creamy roasted malts, sour milk, cocoa powder, and mild dark fruits. Finishing with roasted cocoa and bitter hops that is well balanced. Palate duration is average. Some head retention, medium-full body.

Pours a deep mahogany with a loose, frothy beige head that diminishes to a thin cap and laces nicely. The nose if of toffee and cocoa with a solid boozy note that makes it smell as if it were bourbon barrel aged. Also present are spicy fruity esters that remind me of fruitcake. Light to medium-bodied and silky-soft, the mouthfeel transitions to a lightly boozy finish. The flavor follows the nose, with a slightly woody/bourbon note at the finish and in the aftertaste. I know this wasn’t barrel conditioned, but it certainly possesses some of the qualities you’d expect if it had been. This is a pretty tasty brew that is missing only that little "it" factor which keeps it from being truly great.

Poured a very dark brown almost black with an oily appearance. Nose is sweet with a hint of the abv with some malts. Flavor follows the nose. Big and full with a nice bite to it. Sweet but not cloying with some licorice notes. A dessert weisen? Pretty tasty

Picked up a bomber at Kahn’s Liquors in an Avery sale in May 2008. Got almost no head on the pour. Plenty of aroma still there, with fruit and bread both coming through. Fairly creamy mouth feel. The alcohol comes through in the aftertaste and that becomes more pronounced as the beer warms. It seemed to hit peak flavor around 45-50 degrees F, not a suprise given the ABV. I could only drink half the bomber.
