Tröegs Troegenator Doublebock

12 oz. bottle pours a clear amber brown with an off white frothy head that dissipates fairly quickly. Light malty aroma with hints of caramel and bread. Flavor is a sugary sweet malt with a clean finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with soft carbonation. Overall, a well crafted brew.

Medium brown, fairly clear and light penetrable. Small thin ring of white foam. Sweet and rich malt smells. Very nutty (roasted almond, pecan) with some caramel. Rich almond and toffee notes, some bitter cocoa or slight espresso maybe. Not as sweet as the nose implies, some dryness and alcohol present. Warmingly alcoholic. Fairly strong carbonation, medium heavy mouthfeel. Pretty drinkable.

A very one dimensional beer. Pours a clear brown color with a nice off-white head that lasts quite a while. Good lacing. Aroma is malty, with lots and lots of coffee overtones and a faint "mediceny" quality, like the smell of a band-aid. From there, this beer is a one-trick pony. Lots of roasted coffee flavor, but not much else. It’s possible, I just got a bad bottle but I really couldn’t find much to recommend this beer.

Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, North Location, Charlottesville. Pours reddish brown with a BIG head. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar and banana. Very malty taste. Toffee, brown sugar, a little alcohol. Thick feel.

Draft. Poured a clear dark-brown orange-ish color. Head was off white and left a bit of lace behind. Aroma was of light brown sugar, burnt toffee, and tree bark. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with brown sugar and a touch of raw alcohol.

Delicious beer. Poured a bright brownish-orange color with a half-inch white head that dissipated fairly quickly. Great hops flavor without being too over the top.

Pretty good beer. Has more flavor I think than the hop back beer. The beer poured a dark orangish brown. It looked nice with light passing through the glass. There was about a 1/2 inch tan head that disappeared to just a wisp rather quickly.

Dark brown translucent body with a pencil-thin white head... handsome and appropriate--zero tracings on glass, however... soft and malty.... sweet but not obtrusive, surprising for a double bock... a subtle, almost laid-back bock: body is light to medium, and at thie alcohol content, an achievement... mellow and savory to the taste.... malt is sweet but not overbearing... works on the middle and back of the mouth, with little hop presence... this is a tricky review... Troegenator is not domineering the way the German forefathers command, and yet, does that make it a "bad" or "weak" bock? or a successful variation on the style? overall, this beer begs a second taste... that bespeaks complexity...
