Tröegs Troegenator Doublebock

Brewed by Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Doppelbock
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

Pours lighter than most doppelbocks, but it is very pretty. Very familair smell of toasted malts. The caramel covers up the 8.2% and makes this delicious.

Pours a copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel hops, very slight toasted malts, and a little alcohol. Beginning flavors are pretty good with the malt character coming out pretty strongly. Sweet mid flavor that gives way to very little alcohol on the finish. Decent but not great.

bottle at maproom. pours deep plum red held against the light, which super dirty dark brown head. very pretty beer. smells like hard candy. subtly so, not in the fucking godawful way that those konnig beers did. taste is balanced and controlled. getting some metal in the nose now, but the nutty and muted malts work easily. very drinkable, perhaps almost watery. definitely no alcohol.

Smells like alcohol and malt. Tastes very malty, just enough hops for a nice finish. Above average for a doublebock. For the price (8 bucks for a sixer), it is a great deal.

22oz bottle poured into my Troegenator dimple glass (sweet and bigger thanks) produced a good finger worth of creamy tan head that trailed off to a thick lace. The body of the brew was clear brown with burgandy highlights really nice color on this doppelbock. Aromas’ of caramel malts and some nuttiness, this brew is very sweet in the nose. A little disappointed I didn’t get any bready yeast from it I think the flavors are good, but a tad on the sweet syrupy side for me. It needed a little more balance from the roasted malts to even out the malt sweetness. The body of the brew was spot on medium to thick in the mouth with enough carbonation to keep it from feeling like syrup Even with some flaws in my book, this is still one of the best American doppelbock I have tried. Very drinkable, I finished the bomber with no problems at all and was left wanting for more. Good job Tröegs, you haven’t disappointed me yet. my score’s maybe low in a couple areas but I am comparing it to Imports of this style

Pours a lacing tan head with a red brown body that is clear. Smells like dogfood. Flavors of caramel and roasted malt. Roasted malt finish with the residual sweetness of the malts.

On tap. A deep ruby color. Decent head, nose of sweet malt. Smooth brew, sweet up front balanced by some hops, alcohol in back. O good doppelbock.

deep amber color with minimal head...i expected a darker color for the style. very malty and sweet...very malty flavor with hints of caramel, toffee, and bread but i expected more robust flavor with some chocolate and spice for the style. very stringent or medicinal as well. maybe a bad or an old bottle but i expected more from an otherwise reputable brewery.
