Troegenator Double Bock
Had this on-tap at Bocktown tonight. Have had this several other times but decided to write the review tonight. A- Very nice appearance for a German lager. Body is a very slightly cloudy-nearly transparent mahogany red hue. Served with a nice 1-2 finger foamy cream colored head which has wonderful retention at 1/2 finger and leaves lacing all the way down the glass. S-This has a nose similar to an oktoberfest but with a much richer, deeper malt presence and just a hint of chocolate. Caramel and chocolate tones are both noted. Neither bitter or sweet. T-Taste is very similar to the nose. The caramel and slight malt presence dominates the flavor and is consistent throughout the flavor though a very subtly roasted malt flavor comes through for the finish as well. M- Very nice. Troegs always does a nice job with the mouthfeel. Medium tingly carbonation and a nice medium-light weight lager body. Very smooth. D- This is a good example of the style. It is nothing compared to Celebrator but it definitely holds its ground and is very drinkable. This beer drinks like a 5% rather than an imperial lager. Another great job done by Troegs.
