Description:
The Troegenator Double Bock, is a dark, strong lager (8.2% abv). It pours into a glass with a bronze to brown color, fluffy white head and bready malt aroma. The Troegenator leaves a rich, warming feeling and subtle spicy flavors. The style, Double Bock, dates back a century or so ago. During periods of fasting without solid foods, the 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. Traditionally these brewers ended the name of their double bock with the suffix "ator", ex. Celabrator, Illuminator, Subliminator... In the spirit of the tradition we give you the Troegenator to provide warmth and richness through the early spring months. A double bock of epic proportions, beware,
the Troegenator is deceiving smooth and delicious.

Appearance - 5.0
Pours a deep brownish red with about one finger worth of tan head that leaves some nice lacing.
Aroma - 3.0
Has a very malty aroma, almost nutty. Also has the faint smell of alcohol.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
It is a medium to full-bodied beer and has a nice smooth feeling with a good mix of carbonation.
Taste - 5.0
A malty mix with caramel, chocolate, dark fruit, and nutty notes throughout. It has a nice warm alcohol feeling and finishes dry.
Overall - 4.0
A very nice complex combination of flavors. It's a very solid beer, and is pretty big at just over 8.2%. Watch yourself with this one, it can catch up with you quickly.
