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.

On draught from the brewer, from the Floyd Fandango. Pours deep chestnut with a 2-finger head and nice lace. The aroma is slightly sweet and nutty, with a hint of sugar and possibly some chocolate. The flavors are slightly sweet, richly malted and backed with a decently hopped bitter property. It’s nice and full-bodied, with a dark bitter chocolate finish that lingers appropriately. Overall, it’s chewy and seemingly well-put together; however, there is an "airy" consistency throughout the pull that made it slightly less than the "bigger" dopplebock I’d have expected.

Draft ! Sampled with Stegosaurus and Beerded one at Newtown Beerfest. Reddish brown pour with a little head. Aroma of malty and caramel. Flavor of a slight spice and caramel. Nothing to complex but not bad. A decent DOPPLE.

Picked this up at a quaint little shop in Virginia on a road trip. Pours dark bronze with a moderately sized tan head. The aroma has subdued toffee, spice, caramel malt and some dough. Medium body that seems light for the style. The carbonation is farily sharp. The taste starts a little watery with more spice than expected and some caramel malt. The finish has a richer taste with more toffee and also some spicy hops. Nice interesting doppel.

I’ve been waitin a while to taste something from Troegs. Actually I’ve been patiently anticipating the dream wheat or the mad elf ale. I saw this for $2 a bottle so I thought I’d give it a try. I’ve been avoiding this one because I thought it had a personna of the horned devil on the front. However, upon closer inspection, it is some kind of cross between an old bearded muscleman and one of those rams that smash heads up on a mountain. Initial flavor is good but the finish has a slight amount of bitter hops that lasts for a while after swallowing. Pretty good stuff. Not yer typical pale yellow american beer and extremely better than an IPA or dry stout. It hides the alchohol content rather well.

I dont know. It was alright. Nothing special, I wouldn’t buy a case of it, or doubtfully a six pack of it again if there is anyt options. Maybe not my style of beer
