Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock

Bottle in Boston at an Indian restraunt on Boylston right after the Yanks beat the Sox. Deep nut brown pour. Malts, carmel, more malts, sweetness, hint of raosting and bitterness. A perfect doppel. Nice dry finish. A fun beverage.

330 mL bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium light tan head. Aromas of dark fruits, caramel, alcohol, maybe a roasty hint. Flavor is dark fruits primarily, some caramel, chocolate, and light coffee, some bitterness, tiny bit of alcohol. Flavors combine nicely overall. Fairly clean finish with only a little chocolate/dark fruit hanging on. Very nice. I think someday I’ll need to cover a small Christmas tree with these little ornament things on the bottles.

On tap at Tylers, Durham. Truly one of the most glorious, perhaps the most glorious examples of this style. Wonderful dark pour with a thick, creamy head. The aroma is filled with smoky, rich sweet malts, and a trace of wood in the finish. Tastes just about like that, a hefty body delivering the flavors well, making it satisfying and oddly quite quaffable.

NICE!!!! Everything about this beer is quality. The appearance, scent and taste are phenomenal. Quite drinkable for a higher ABV, however the alcohol doesn’t overpower the beer. Name is worthy of the product---

Bottle at home ... Deep brown ... thin off white head... woody toffee meaty malt nose ... deep rich toffee ... and id confirm the teriyaki hints how very odd but it works very well ... smooth and soft ... little alcohol in back but only a little...

Someone used "teriyaki" in their description and it is spot on. It really does remind me of teri sauce in both smell and appearance. It tastes like a mild shoyu. The alcohol doesnt hit you till well after youve swallowed which makes it very easy to down. I cant rate the appearance any higher because seconds after pour it looks like a flat cola.

12oz bottle, rich dark amber/brown, head fades in a few minutes to a surface. Smells like hawaiian teriyaki dried meat. Taste is an amalgam of dried dark fruits, raw cane pressings, licorice. I love and respect the Aying brewery, and I do think this is a well brewed beer, however I feel that this one is a bit overrated. Maybe I just don’t like/appreciate this style enough, sorry guys.

This beer is great! It is smooth, looks great and tastes great. My opinion looks to be the same as just about everybody else so I don’t even need to explain how it tastes. It is nothing short of near perfection! God I love German beer!!!
