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.

9-26-2007 bottling date. Clear copper color with a fleeting tan head. Big malty sweet bread yeasty aroma. Medium body. Good taste mirrors the aroma with dark caramel, earthy molasses and bready yeast. Classic bock flavors here.

There is a lot to this beer. I thought it was good but generally I was left a little underwhelmed. The beer poured very dark amber with a tan foamy head. The aroma was mostly malty with some chocolatey hints, I didn’t catch any hops in the aroma. The beer tastes malty, almost no alcohol, the hops blend in nicely. There are rich flavors and some hints of chocolate and caramel. For an 8% beer, you wouldn’t know it as the alcohol is nicely hidden. The reason this beer disappointed a little is because it has a lot of everything, but nothing really stands out as a dominant attribute. There was also a lingering aftertaste that was not very pleasant. I must say I enjoyed the beer, but some things were lacking...I’m torn on what I think about this one. This is probably more of a sipping beer or a single bottle beer, I couldn’t really drink more than one or two at a time.

Bottle. Clear mohoganey pour with a thick off white head. Strong aroma like that of a quality dark German lager, a little malty with a good hop presence. Nice flavor, a little sweet, a little roasted and a nice hop finish with an extra little nutty roastedness to it. Nice body to it as well, a nicely put together beer.

Cold bottle from Beach Liquors, Bethany , De. whiskey brown color, off whit head with thin short-lived laceSpicey malt aromea with slight acid alcohol sharpness. Rich-malty round flavor, caramel, chocolate, some wood and raison. Reminiscent of Unibroue Terrible or even a light version of DFH Raison d’Etre. crisp finish. I’ll drink at least 4 of these...

Aroma is stuffed full of dark malts, noticably molasses and dark syrups. It’s dark in color, like a dark red-brown. The head is small, with a light white collar. It’s flavor is full, with a bit of strong malt bodies, the molasses is not overwhelming, the dark barley malts are balanced well with the sweet malts. It’s a pleasant drink. Very well balanced, not too much alcohol, not too sweetness.

Very bready taste, and suprisingly smooth for the alcohol content. Not my favorite, but would surely drink again

Smooth, smooth, smooth. @ 8%, I can’t detect a trace of alcohol. I love this beer as a whole. It really is an original. Honey and bread, with a nutty finish. Poo-Zim-Pee-La!

Bottle purchased at Mom’s Apple Pie Co. somewhere in Va. on my way home from BCTC. Was originally going to be for my secret santa but he had already rated it, so now I drink it. Thought I had rated this too, so it’s a nice surprise. Pours a cherry-red amber with a thin head that fades fast. Aroma is very malty but little else going on. Flavor is similar, very malty, a bit of alcohol, but nothing really distinguishable. A bit of honey, biscuit, and hops in the finish. This beer really doesn’t do much for me. Doubt I’ll finish the whole bomber.
