The name "Spoetzl Brewery" points to German heritage.
"Bock" is the German word for male sheeps, goats and deer, so that's the reason for the logo.
In Germany a very strong beer is called "Bock Bier". Historically, doppelbock was high in alcohol and sweet, thus serving as "liquid bread" for the Friars during times of fasting, when solid food was not permitted.
