Commercial Description:
For periods of fasting without solid foods, Monastic brewers relied on the double bock; a stronger, richer beer to fulfill their basic nutritional needs. Known to them as "liquid bread", a double bock has a strong malt aroma and chewy rich body. In the spirited tradition of naming a double bock in the suffix "ator," we give you Troegenator to provide warmth and richness through the early spring months.

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.

This beer is a go to for me. Smooth, creamy and delicious with lots of robust flavors. Chocolate, caramel, coffee, toffee, bread and spice to name a few. Malty goodness.

12 oz bottle from Premier Gourmet. Pours dark copper colour, good sized head, leaving some nice lacing. Flavour is a little sweet, and malty. Fine cabonation.

Coppery in color with a thick frothy head. Sweet grain notes along with toasty malt makes for an great aroma. I feel like I am smelling fresh dark wheat bread. Very similar flavor as with the aroma. Sweet bread and grain flavors mixed in with the malty taste. Overall it’s nice to have one or two but it definitely is not a session beer.

Poured a little darker than the picture with a white head. Lace remained around top. Nice malty nose. Malty flavor abounds with hints of other ingredients such as honey and some ffruit. Nice mouth feel coats the tongue and mouth. Nice and sweet. Aftertaste is all malt.
