Feb 15, 2009 12 oz bottle. Orange/brown pour, with an off white head with descent retention. Malty toffee with some citrus and pine aromas. Tastes of caramel and toffee also. Solid medium body, enough carbonation to keep from being syrupy. Not too warming, the alcohol is nearly non-existant. Finishes with some malty sweetness, but fades cleanly. I think this could use some more fruits to fit with the style. A well made brew of a version that in my experience is either very good or poor with not much in the middle. This definetely falls into the good. My first from Troegs and will be seeking out more.

Feb 13, 2009 Pours bright mahogany into a stem glass. Off-white micro head leaves sheet lacing as it slowly recedes. Roasted malt aromas. Sweet full molasses full upfront with raisins and pit fruit turning to roasted nuts and a dry, warming finish.

Feb 10, 2009 On tap at Gramercy Tavern in NYC and bottle at the Warwick in Hummelstown, PA. You have to respect the Troegenator. One of the better offerings from the boys from the ’burg. Dark amber color with a medium white head and solid lacing. Sweet malt on the aroma with some alcohol. Caramel malts with a nutty flavor and a fairly heavy mouthfeel. You can taste the alcohol warning you that it’s about to put you on the floor.

Feb 6, 2009 Dark amber colored beer with a nice off white head. Malty and caramelly aroma with some hints of alcohol. Really malty and does a good job of masking the alcohol content with a rich sweetness. Great doppel.

Feb 4, 2009 12 oz bottle...Pours crimson tinted amber w/ a slight off white head with no retention. Aromas of dark fruits, caramel, molasses, bread, slight alcohol...very hearty malt character. The flavor was molasses sweet, with a little spice kick from the hops. Delightfully drinkable palate, medium bodied, with a lasting sweet finish. Great beer...wish I had another one!

Feb 4, 2009 Pours a dark amber with a small head and good carbonation. Aroma is yeasty, dark dried fruits (raisins, prunes) and a nice toasty, roasty background. Flavor is licorice and malty sweetness. The 8.2% is nicely hidden. This could sneak up on you.

Jan 26, 2009 Pours a dark red, not much foam. Nice aroma of malts, yeasty and bready, very pleasant. Tastes a bit lighter than I expected, could be bolder. Good stuff, though.
