Tröegs Troegenator Doublebock

33cl bott@Strasbourg Mondial de la Biere Dark amber brown in color. Zesty gingery nose. Not intense. You can taste carmel and alcohol. Not exciting. Mediumlight bodied.

Bottle at Mondial de la biere 2009, Strasbourg. Pours a clear light brown with a diminishing off-white head. Sweet and dry. Malty aromas. Hints of residual sugars. Slightly perfumed towards the end. Dry and sweet finish.

bottle: poured into a stein. clear reddish-brown with medium white head that dissipates. Not much arouma, perhaps because its lightly carbonated. Has a great sweet caramel front, a little fruity sourness comes through and finishes with alcohol and a touch of hops. Smooth and slippery going down.

Bottle 33. Quite disappointing ale with an acid / sour taste that comes over the malt aroma, may by from melanoid malt. Deep and sweet beer, hops is less present. Neer to the classic german doppel boks.

Bottle. Clear brown pour, small off-white head. Sweet malt, caramel, dark fruit, sugar, and warming alcohol. Not a big fan of this at the moment, but it is well made.

courtesy of fiulijn - clear brown colour with a modest head retention; aroma of malt and nut with a hint of solvant, some caramel too; sweet and slightly sticky; some late bitterness, heavy caramel and sweet malts in the finish

Bottled, thanks Timo A! Dark reddish amber color. Sweet, malty and caramelly flavor with some fruitiness and vanilla. Thick sweet malty and caramelly flavor with raisins and plum. Some warming alcohol. Good maltiness but too sweet for me. Has some barley wine feel to it.

Label on bottle is different than the label shown on RateBeer, pours a clear bright deep red with hints of bronze, there were a few off-white bubbles after the pour to make a thin a cover, some effervescence, this beer gave no lacing on the glass, big malt sweetness and malt bread aromas with light caramel, sugary sweetness and faint toasted malt, flavors of sweet malt, bread and caramel, has a some bitterness at the finish, bitterness does help to balance the sweetness, this drink starts sweet but ends pretty balanced, not overly sweet like a lot of Dopplebocks, some alcohol warmth on the palate but that is it, alcohol is not intrusive in any way, mouth feel is thick, almost syrupy, well, this beer smells sweeter than it tastes, I am glad the sweetness was balanced with some bitterness, this is a sweet beer but not so sweet that it teeters on the throwing up side of sweet (too much sweet for me), alcohol is hidden well on the nose and palate, so, this is a sleeper in my book, I like the Dopplebocks that are darker and have the darker aromas and flavors, not bad but not my preference.
