Tröegs Troegenator Doublebock

Brewed by Tröegs Brewing Company
Style: Doppelbock
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle. To my surprise, I really enjoyed this one. Pour was a dark red, brown mix with two fingers of head. Malts and hops were very well balanced with taste of caramel and maybe some honey. Fruit was of cherries. I will need to pick up another to rerate, as I was enjoying this beer so much I didnt take good notes.

22oz bottle. I bought it to try with a duck. Pours a dark red with no head and Champaign like carbonation (I had to switch a glass to a flute). Aroma is of cherry, caramel malt with slight hoppy notes. Full, sparkling body. Flavor starts off sweet, caramel malt, dark fruit and molasses with some alcohol and earthy notes at the end. Quite tasty, heavy brew.

Draft at Paradiso in Dupont. Pours amber with a thickhead. Aroma of barley, figs, hops, and applejuice. Finishes nicely. I could drink this by the gallon

Bottle from the local. Pours a bright brown. Aroma of sweet malt dominates, not very strong. Flavor starts off sweet, roasted malt and molasses, caramel malt, and dark fruit...subtle hops in the finish. I had to try this one twice before rating...I couldn’t stand it the first time around, but now I like it...not bad at all.

Draft. Pours clear amber with a thick, creamy beige head. Aroma of barley, figs, grapes, dry hops, yeast, and some subtle spice. Full bodied with a nice, well balanced, smooth mouthfeel. Clean, slow finish. Very good.

Deep amber color with tan foamy head. Nice malty aroma with slight traces of dried fruit. Malty yeasty bread flavour with traces of caramel and spice. Lingering ba;anced aftertaste

12oz - Light carbonation, red liquid, fleeting head. Malt and cabbage on nose. Mild wood on palate, not much there. Eeh.

Pours a nice, amber tinted, deep copper color. Two fingers of tan foam form quickly and dissipate just as quickly. Lacing is foamy and doesn’t hang around long. Nice malty nose with hints of caramel nuttiness. A kind of buttered bread presence. Light hints of figs and dates. Also, some notes of honeyed apricots. Flavor is lighter than expected. Nice roasted maltiness. There’s that butterey bread presence, again. Light fruit notes follow the nose. Hint of cinnamon spice. Good caramel notes and hints of honey. Body is medium, at best. Definitely on the lighter side of the Doppelbock scale. Taste is enjoyable, but the body needs to be quite abit fuller. This could be used as a ’gateway’ Doppelbock. It has the qualitys that you’d expect, thay are just toned down. This makes it very easily drinkable. I just, generally, want more than this, from the style.
