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.

Bottle, thanks to Blake! Poured translucent reddish-copper with a short cap of beige head. The aroma picked up boozy caramel, toffee, and sparkly bready notes with some floral and fruity accents.. toasted overall, and quite nice. The flavor was very sweet, with toasty caramel standing out the most.. sweet again on the latter half with herbal hoppage accenting.. a bit too sweet overall, detracting from the malty goodness. At least medium-bodied on the palate with more sweetness on the back-end.. warm and sweet on the finish. Decent.

Very heavy beer that packs a punch. Tried at the troegs brewery from the tap. Will leave you very full from drinking. Somewhat close to the texture of a porter.

Bottle. Malty average aroma. Orange amber color, white head. Caramel flavor, med bodied. Some bready notes but not much depth. Not bad, easy to drink but a bit bland for a doppelbock.

12 Oz Bottle. Hay and wheat fields, robust with light fruit esters and sweet nuttiness. Reserved and somewhat plain. Pours a nice florid amber, deeper in tone, with a silky, creamed head of brazil nut flesh. Flavor is a curt, bitter presentation. With overdone dryness, parching nuts and a ragged edge of hop resins. Warming alcohols add an edge of pleasure, but there’s something just not amazing about this beer. Not distasteful, but untenable. Finishes in some old lemon clothes, spoiled with honey.

Bottle. Pours burnt brown with proportional beige head. The aroma is spicy malt with some chocolate and toast. The flavor is caramel and toast, lots of yeasty notes, and even some faint banana. Some detectable alcohol floats around, too. The finish is autumn spices and some ash, with a little bit of wheat flavor.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Reddish amber color out of the bottle. Taupe colored bubbles that shrink to a whisp. White sugar sweetness in the nose. Sweetness also tends to white sugar with some raisen, dried fruit, toffee and some burnt sugar. Seems thin for a double bock.
