beer_name: Troegenator Double Bock
text: I have been wanting to try this one for quite a while, and was not disappointed. Troegenator poured to about 1/2" head, which dissipated to less than 1/8" and then lingered. Color is a beautiful, crystal-clear amber -- really terrific. Nose is distincly malty and bready, with little to no hops, and tones of caramel. Mouthfeel is robustly-bodied, but the high carbonation keeps it very crisp on your tongue. As for taste, great malt flavor, and very sweet foretaste, which evens out to caramels and some very nutty tones, and finishes with a rounded hops flavor and a hops bitterness just enough to balance out the sweetness in the aftertaste. Maybe a faint taste of alcohol, but considering ABV, it's well-masked. Great beer from start to finish -- I'm not sure I'd drink more than one at a time or even drink it with food or anything else -- but I will definitely drink this again, and recommend it. All in all, a great-tasting and complex beer you can just sit with and enjoy with no other distractions.
