Triple Nator

Tap to rate

Deep toffee, layers of complex malt and grain define this triple bock. The mash tun is filled with Munich and chocolate malts alongside Caramel, Pilsner and Special B, and Demerara and dark candy sugar feed a rigorous fermentation with house lager yeast and German Northern Brewer hops. At 12.7% ABV it is made to be sipped or cellared for a year or four. A Brewery Only release from Hershey, Pennsylvania.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with deep caramel and toffee sweetness, layered beneath toasted chocolate malt and a subtle roasted grain character. Beneath these primary aromas sits a warming alcohol presence and a whisper of dark dried fruit, with the Northern Brewer hops providing only a soft herbal backdrop rather than assertive bitterness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced caramel and malt sweetness, transitioning to rich chocolate and roasted grain notes that build through the mid-palate. The 12.7% ABV is present as a warming, slightly boozy character, while bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the complex grain bill to dominate without harsh edges.
