Troegenator Doublebock

Lately I’ve been on a Doublebock kick.  I don’t know why, but I’m really enjoying this style of beer.  So, last week in my local beer store I saw the Troegs Doublebock, I had to give it a try especially since I’ve liked most of the beers from Troegs I’ve had.

Troegenator Doublebock

Pour:

Give this beer a gentle pour, easing into a heavy pour to give a nice thick head.

Appearance:

A clear mahogany color awaits you with a thin residual head.  Looked fairly carbonated with a nice steady stream of bubbles.

Aroma:

Sweet and fruity with a  bit of fig.  Had a hard time with this beer picking out the aromas, nothing was very dominating.

Taste:

A touch of caramel sweetness paired with a bit of fig, finishing with a big malty presence. I liked the fizz and the warmth of the beer as it went down.

Drinkability:

Nice and smooth, the 8.2% abv was well balanced with the malt, but still present.  I found this to be a good example of the style.

Tasting Method: 22oz Bottle

My Rating: 8.9
