Self-Defined Style: 
Double Bock
Strength (ABV): 
8.2% ABV

The Troegenator Double Bock, is a dark, strong lager (8.2% abv). It pours into a glass with a bronze to brown color, fluffy white head and bready malt aroma. The Troegenator leaves a rich, warming feeling and subtle spicy flavors. The style, Double Bock, dates back a century or so ago. During periods of fasting without solid foods, the Monastic brewers relied on the double bock; a stronger, richer beer to fulfill their basic nutritional needs. Known to them as "liquid bread," a double bock has a strong malt aroma and chewy rich body.

Best With: 
Since Troegenator is a big beer, it is perfect with big beef-like grilled steaks and stews. It can also serve as a nice compliment to sweet, non-chocolate based desserts.
