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.

Dark cranberry red pour from 12 oz bottle. Thin head, nicelacing. Carmel notes dominate somewhat one dimensional tastesal ost kettlecamelized.

9/04/2008: Troegenator has a grainy, watery manure-like aroma that has some generic beer maltiness but is quite weak overall. This beer is sweet, roasty, and malt with that typical Germal Doppelbock-like character and some slight tobacco. This beer has a transparent borwn color and a carmelized beige-colored head and decent lacing. It is medium to medium-full in body and is slightly syrupy. Overall is has a solid Doppelbock flavor and is good, but not great.

12 fl. oz. bottle (8.2 alc/vol). Rating #596 for this beer.

Bottle, pours a dark reddish amber color with a beige head. Aroma has lots of rich and sweet malt characteristics. Flavor has notes of dried fruit, raisins, spices, caramel, and roasted malts. Slight bitterness in the aftertaste. The 8.2% is fairly hidden.

Pours a clear, dark coppery-red with a fairly thick but not persistent off-white head. Aroma is malty and subtly yeasty but not strong - inviting nonetheless. Flavor is better than the aroma suggested - strong, malty, mouth-filling with hints of hops and caramel. Texture is fairly smooth and just a little tingly, leaving a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Tap. Beer is good not great. Definitely one not to drink in the summer. Will have again but nothing too excellent.

Poured a nice thick head; layers of bubbles rested on a rusty brown complexion. fuzzy but transparent. Nutty, hints of tea, subtle, sweet spice: nutmeg or cinnamon, but still attractive and masculine. well balanced, alcohol hidden nicely, easy first sip; builds on the mid-palate; almost like apple pie: hints of caramelized and cinnamon spiced apples, the crust is there, too. smooth, lingering finish; spice carrying through to the end. This might be one of the top 10 beers, if I had only one to drink.

From bottle: medium-lean body, with muted malt flavors. Finishes pretty clean with some alcohol astringency (without showing the 8" abv).

Bottled:
Pours deep reddish brown with a mid sized head. Sweet and malty caramel aroma. Sweet and malty flavour with notes of toffee and dark berries. Warming finish. Pretty solid Doppelbock, but it didn’t really rock my world.
