Sep 9, 2008 Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured clear brown color with an average off-white frothy head that diminished mostly lasted with good lacing. Good caramel toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Good balanced sweet toasted malt flavor with a moderate smooth balanced finish of moderate duration. Soft doppelbock.

Sep 8, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Rich reddish brown with lasting ring. Aroma of wet firewood. Toasted brown sugar sweetness with complex and not necessarily pleasant underlying grainy lingering bitterness. Medium-full body and medium carbo. Pretty good, but not great. Really doen’t let the malt character come through like it should. Gets better as it warms up.

Sep 7, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with 2 finger beige head. Nose is dark fruits, brown sugar and alcohol. Taste is woody, ripe plums, molasses and toffee. Light-to-medium mouth feel. Not bad, a little too sweet for me though.

Sep 1, 2008 Bomber from Rivers Bend.
Pours brown in color with ruby highlights around the edges. Decent inch of frothy head atop the beer. Smell is slight toffee and a bit of a lager smell as well. Mouthfeel is pillowy soft and very nice. Taste is lacking a little complexity and strength. Needs more toffee/caramel and a supporting flavor. They nailed the mouthfeel though.

Aug 30, 2008 Bottle. Dark burgundy with a fine head and good lacing. Nice malty aroma, caramel, molasses, and a bready yeast odor. Flavor is sweet and satisfying. Smooth, easy drink. Not outstanding but definitely good.

Aug 30, 2008 A bold brown ale with a thin tan head, this 2xbock has great malt taste, a touch of roasty toast and sweet molasses. Definitely one to try.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle. My first Troegs, just finally started distributing to Ohio. Looks good enough, but definitely not like the picture shown here. It was much darker, rich brown in color with a tiny head. Aroma is strong malt fitting of the dopplebock style. Flavor is also strong than I expected...very sweet, very malty, all backed by a big roasted punch. Very flavorful. I want to try more Troegs beer, along with this one again.
