beer_name: Troegenator Double Bock
text: Troegenator pours up with a short lived creamish-tan head that rings the tawny auburn body nicely. The toasty, sweet marshmallow aroma has a bit of a dry, grainy edge to it with some cracker-like maltiness. There's just a hint of spiciness from the finishing hops underlying the malt. Fairly clean, no diacetyl or DMS with just a hint of fruitiness. The flavor starts off rather light with some initial breadiness that carries into a bittersweet, fruity (dates, figs, candied orange), warming finish. Medium-full bodied with a smooth creaminess. Hint of chocolate. This doppelbock from Troegs has gathered a few well deserved awards over the years. Definitely worth picking up a sixer or case for those nights when only a nice, strong lager will suffice. Suggested pairings include grilled beefsteak such as a nice Porterhouse or a hearty beef or venison stew. Here's to the dreaded Troegenator! PROST! Beertracker Taster's Note: Many thanks to Deuane for this fine PA brew!
