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.

From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with no bottled/freshness date. Poured a hazy reddish purple hued amber with a foamy beige head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing. Smells like a dopplebock, dark ripe fruity and molasses, caramel toffee malts, a subtle dry ground nuts yeastiness and brief whiffs of alcohol. Good carbonation for a dopplebock and a crisp, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Nice dopplebock taste, dark fruits, plums mixed with purple grapes, bready with a touch of caramel and chocolate malts, a roasted barley flavor starts to come out in the middle, the alcohol is well masked and provides a nice warming presence in the palate, and a dryish fruit and earthy breadiness in the finish, good drinkability, goes down smooth and easy. A well made dopplebock, I need to try more beers from this brewer. Acquired in a trade with fellow BR sammy, again, many thanks!!

Pours a deep amber-orange color supporting a thin beige head which quickly dissapates to a thin wisp. Aroma is sweet and very malty revealing caramel candy, nuts, honey, raisins and some faint spiciness. Mouthfeel is quite full and creamy. Definitive DB flavors are detected on first sip; sweet caramels, figs, walnuts, toasted malts and honey. The alcohol lends a warming touch and tames the sweetness a bit. An admirable DB and quite enjoyable.

Pours a reddish brown with a foamy tan head. Little to no carbonation. Sweet aroma of caramel and raisins. Tastes of caramel malts and molasses with a spicy finish. Could use a bigger body.

Bottle, Brickskeller. Medium dark brown color. Rich and sweet nose containing currants, cherries, nutmeg, with a slight alcohol nose along with a dominat maple scent. Toasted honey flavors, moderately thick texture, sweet, herbal flavors. Some dogfood smells though, and chewy at times, biscuity, sweet maple and brown sugar. A tasty beer but not the prototypical doppelbock.

A bit too Sweet for my taste, but not a bad D-Bock. Available throughout Philly area. I think the $11.50 I paid for a sixer is a bit excessive though..........

Roasty caramel aroma. Fruity malty flavor that competes with the alcohol to its detriment.
