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.

Hazy dark cherry red pour, very thin almost non existent head. Aroma of over ripped bananas is most present, followed by caramel notes, hints of dark cherry, and raisin a little bit of that sweet chocolate as well. Some really nice and interesting flavors. Some sweet cherry and caramel at front then turns a little tart in the middle and finish as a nutty chocolate almost hazelnutty. Very very yummy and very enjoyable!

On tap at dingle house. Dark brown tan head, okay lacing. Hints of roasted nut and caramel floral undertones. Only mild sweetness then a bitter dry raisin finish. Alcohol hidden okay but still drinks strong.

Had the Troegenator tonight on draft at Shorty’s in NYC. In a word: delicious. This potent beer is tasty. Pours a light gold with a medium head. Nose of toasted caramel malts. The flavor is rich, mild fruity notes with strong hop character and a bit of breadiness. Finishes nicely, with that lip-smacking quality that strong beers possess. You musn’t chug this guy. Enjoy it, which isn’t hard.

The color is deep cherry red with a brownish tinge. Thin head disappears quickly. Shapes can be seen through it in the light, but its still murky. The color is okay; the consistency is weak. The smell is sweet caramel malts and dark berries. Sweet and bitter cherry. Hints of raisin, hints of chocolate. Tar and tobacco. Actually pretty nice and complex in the nose. Initial burst of a cherry winter ale, then a sweet but grainy barleywine-ish flavor. THIS must be what a doppelbock is! It’s sweet cherry, slightly sour in the aftertaste. As it warms, there is chocolate. The feel is basically chunky and chewy. Tart, bittersweet, cherry and barleywine/winter ale qualities. Decent, not great.

On tap at the Troegs Brewery. Hazy light amber brown with little foam head. Light malts and steeped grain texture. Hops, some spice and dry bitterness towards the finish. Fresh and flavorful, very drinkable and enjoyable.
