Tröegs Troegenator Doublebock

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

Bottle: reddish brown with a thin white head, aroma reminds me of banana bread, flavor is sweet and malty, very nice brew, if it wasn’t printed on the bottle I’d never have a clue that this was an 8%+ ABV. I’d certainly buy this again if I was in the mood for something a bit sweet.

Amber-cola color. Dark bread malty aroma with alcohol in the nose as well. Sweet, malty, alcohol and off flavor sourness. Thin body that doesn’t support the alcohol. Maybe my bottle was too old. Will have to try again.

Poursa deep reddish amber with a small off-white head that fades quickly into a thin film. Nice big fruity alcohol nose. Flavor is big and malty, slightly toasted with a touch of oak, brandy and candied sugar. Subtle bittersweet finish. Nice.

Bottle born on August 27, ’07 from Tronraner. Pours a mahogany with just a tiny tan head. The nose is readily identifiable as a bock with an apply sweetness and a doughy quality. I generally prefer my dopplebocks to have more in the way of vinous or spiced qualities, this one is more about the sweet malts. The flavor is medium sweet with a gummy quality, cooked veggies, and caramel -apples. The finish hints at dryness with a baking chocolate flavor. I pick up some suggestions of cherries which reminds me of Robitussin. I started out in the dopplebock category with Celebrator and since then haven’t been really impressed with the style since. I will probably be leaning away from bocks even more so in the future.

I’m not the biggest fan of this style (or bock beers in general), but I found this one to be very pleasant, and I’d recommend it. This beer poured a dull but clear orange-copper color that was quite bright. The beer had a nice head of medium sized bubbles that stuck around for quite awhile. Aroma was malty and cereal-y. Flavor was not overly sweet and cereal-y (what I don’t like about bock beers!) but was lightly caramel-y and also had some sour notes and abundant maltiness. Mouthfeel was rich but not over-the-top thick. I really enjoyed it.

pours a transparent shade of copper with lucious tan head and a litlle spotty lacing. Malty aroma with hints of fresh baked bread. Slight smokey flavors with a malty backbone. Thanks IMMY

Bottle during a BJCP training session. Clear reddish brown body with a medium creamy tan head. Sweet sugary aroma with some toastiness and light smoke. Dark malty flavor with some toastiness and almost burnt malt. Creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle from zathrus13. Reddish amber colored with light beige foam that stickes to the glass. Interesting malty aroma with caramel and bready notes. Toasted and roasted flavors with some bitterness but somewhat it is lacking maltiness as I am use to in dopplebocks. This beer start strong but leave you on your appetite. I am little disapointed with its flavors. Thanks Jeff!
