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.

[Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Very dark brown, small head. Aroma of banana and burnt malt. Sweet with clean rounded mouthfeel. Plenty of medicinal esters. Near full bodied with notes of chocolate and molasses. Syrupy finish with plenty of candy, caramel and banana. Flavourful, but somewhat raw and unrefined.

This beer is a dark reddish-brown color and has a thin beige head with fair retention. Thin sheets of lacing. The aroma is big on toasted malt, along with some chocolate and a bit of smoke. Rich body with a nice roasted character. Sweet malt, grain and chocolate flavors are all noticeable. It seems to lean more heavily to the Doppelbock side but there is an interesting hint of wheat here and there. Either way it is a great blend and one of the best Weizen Bocks I have had. At 9.5% ABV it has a nice alcohol presence too. The finish is long and sweet, with a hint of bitter hops and alcohol burn on the tail end. Very good throughout.

Pour is a cola brown with a small white head. Aroma is musty, citrus and bananas with a strong alcohol presence. Flavor is sweet and malty with notes of dark fruits and molasses. Alcohol is there in a big way and I think im going to hit the sack after this one. Still very tasty but the alcohol is a kick in the groin.

Bottle. Malty banana nut bread aroma - heavy on the nuts with alcohol apparent. Opaque dark reddish brown with no head. Sweet walnut flavor up front with banana and clove flavor coming through next with an astringent alcohol finish. Body was lighter than I expected. Well blended with a very nice mixture of the Weizen and Doppelbock characteristics. A great beer.

Dark dark amber color. Had to work to get the tan colored head to rise. Light aroma is sweet-fruity, yeasty with a touch of malt. Mmm. Thick mouth feel. The fruit flavor from the yeast seems to be the dominant flavor component by just a little bit. Next comes the hefe weissen wheat flavor, coffee and a healthy dose of rich dark chocolate malt. This is a nice drinkable beer. It leaves a dry taste behind along with a lingering and delicious chocolate flavor as well as a warm alcohol sensation.
