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.

Nutty nose with sweet notes of molassis, brown beer with a thin sheet upon constant siwrling. Nutty, sweet malty flavors, needs a little more hop balancing as it somehwat drowning in malts, but overall not bad.

12oz bottle. Red/brown with no head. Sweet peaty aroma. Okay but not special and not clean. Flavors are messy. There is too much sweetness.

22oz bomber from the Liquor Shop in Tyngsborro, Mass. Pours a brilliant translucent red-brown with a half inch of light tan head. Caramel, nut, toffee, and a slight background of herbal hops characterize the aroma. Caramel and toffee hit first in the flavor, plenty of nut, slightly herbal hops in the background, and just a hint of alcohol warmth, though it does not taste like an 8.2% beer. Toward the fuller side of body with moderate carbonation. Not viscous like some dopplebocks, makes this one more refreshing and drinkable than expected. All around, one of the best dopplebocks I have ever had. Well-balanced, drinkable, pretty. No complaints here. Glad I can get this in Tyngsborro!

Pours translucent brown with a ruby red highlight, no head. Sweet caramel and toasted malts and a bit of alcohol in the aroma. The flavor is better than the aroma, toasted nuts and caramelized sugar flavor. Definitely has that "liquid bread" flavor and body. Not on par with the best of the style, but still pretty good.

330 ML bottle in the USA. Great dark color with no head at all. Deep malty aroma, I had to keep smelling it to get the true picture of it. Complex pallet and able to stand up to the European Doppels.

Bottle from Winking Lizard. Pour was a nice amber/red color. NO head whatsoever. Nice malty aroma. Flavor was warm, bready and sweet. I really enjoyed this beer and have yet to find a Doppelbock I didnt like. I did find myself talking about this beer with a Austrian Arnold Schwarznegger accent..."I am the Troegenator, and I’ll be bock!!!"
