One taste of Troegenator tells you this is no ordinary beer. At once malty and crisp. Traditional yet timeless. A rebel with a sweet side. This deliciously dark doublebock calls for so much grain we had to custom-build our brewhouse around it. Layered with notes of smooth caramel, stone fruit and fresh toasted grains, ’Nator is a beer for people who love beer.

Bottle at Blue Smoke, Manhattan - 01/03/12. Dark brown colour with small white head which soon thins. Fruity bready nose with a whiff of booze. Malty, sugary, caramel, mollasses, dark fruits. Smooth mouthfeel with light carbonation. Decent enough D’bock.

Armenian cognac colour, no head. Sweet bread, roasted chestnuts, caramel and toffeearomas. Bitter-leafy & earthy, but the background is essentialy spicy; cinnamon, pepper, allspice. Very slick, gives a fast-enough sensation, partly because of the spices. A spiced Doppelbock? Didn’t think so...

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled 2/9/2012. Pours slightly hazy reddish brown color, with a nice 2 finger dense khaki head with nice retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Some spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of carbonation streaming up. Aromas of caramel, molasses, biscuit, raisin, plum, banana, light chocolate, herbal hops, and a touch of alcohol. Some pretty nice aromas with good strength and balance. Taste of caramel, biscuit, molasses, chocolate, raisin, banana, toffee, nuttiness, herbal hops, and light spiciness. Lingering notes of raisin, caramel, molasses, biscuit, chocolate, and herbal hops on the finish for a good bit. Great flavor complexity and balance. Nice maltiness that is not cloying at all. Medium carbonation and body; with a very nice creamy, chewy, and slightly slick mouthfeel. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming after the finish noticed. Quite smooth to drink, but is still a sipper. Overall this is a damn nice doppelbock. Nice flavor complexity and balance; and very enjoyable.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small amount of fine debris settling to the bottom and an off-white head. Caramel and dark fruit aroma with some toffee. Flavor has toffee, raisin, caramel, some toasted malts, fairly sweet. Tiny hints of grassy hops. I’m liking this quite a bit.
