Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock

This beer is as good as it gets. Pours dark brown. Caramelly and smokey with some chocolate hints. Tons of different flavor. One of the best beers I have ever had.

Bottle. Pours with a a nice thick light colored head which laces the glass. A great beer with slightly sweet malt flavors and a dry finish.

12oz bottle in a snifter. Pours a murky brown with a thin head. Funny - I swear I’ve had Celebrator before that’s been less dark with a much fuller head. Great dark nose of coffee, fruit, chocolate, and a little tobacco. Mildly bitter, with lots more of the fruit and a very slight lingering bitterness. Just the right level of carbonation for a smooth palate. Tasty stuff.

...bottle. Had this a while back in Florida. Poured a very dark brown with a nice tan head that lasted, with lacing. On the nose was dark roasted malt, dark dried fruits, caramel and coffee. Flavors were similar, with the addition of smoke and hops. FInished dry, with a weird smoky aftertaste. I was slightly disappointed in this, but the flavors just weren’t for me. True to style, but I thought it was unbalanced.

Bottle, 330ml, Trappist goblet. Pours rich, dense and dark mahogany, with tenacious lacing. Dark fruits, molasses and liquorice on the nose. Very smooth on the tongue, with sweet malts and caramel surfacing, amply rewarding the palate. Great doppelbock.

Bottle. A very dark brown, almost black, with a big creamy light brown head. Outstanding malty aroma with nutty roastiness, dark chocolate, caramel and some dark fruits. Flavor is sweet,earthy, rich, and malty with chocolate, some coffee, some roast. A caramelly sweet finish with mild notes of spicy hop bitterness and wood smoke that linger at the dry finish. Full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel ,Really great. A very complex malty treat that I would like to have again.
