Commercial Description:
Celebrator has a creamy head of tight bubbles contrasting beautifully with its profound dark robe. It is full-bodied and velvety from half a year's aging. Although it is strong, it is not overpowering. There is a wonderful and complex balance between the various malts, the alcohol and the subtle hops. A complex fruitiness of roasted malt and whole hop flowers make Celebrator great as a party drink with friends and family at celebrations. Despite its richness, it has a faintly smoky dryness in the finish.

Dark Brown, nearly black. Caramel-colored head, light head. Rich, malty flavor. Dry finish. My favorite beer by quite a large margin thus far.

Pours dark caramel brown. Light head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of caramel, chocolate, and toffee. Very rich mouth feel. This is almost a meal. Slightly smoky taste. Med/low carbonation. Nice better finish. Well-balanced. The standard for dopplebocks.

Pours a deep mahogany, with a small tan head. Aroma of sweet bread. Flavor is very balanced. Great malty backbone with just enough hops. Almost a green apple flavor on top of the same bread that was in the aroma. Very nice, well put together beer.

bottle. aroma...malts and hops all over the sinus. smells like nutts and also like sour fruit. great dark brown color with little to no head. great lacing. the taste of this beer may be too complex for me too try to rate but here goes, very malty with a hint of hops. kind of caramel and nuts mixed with yeast? not sure about that. what I do know is that this beer is one of my favorites for sure. this is an all round good mix for a doppelbock. it’s just right on everything. this may just be the best beer I have had in the last few months and there have been many. everyone must try this one.

This is a dark brown color, with a tan head. the smell is strong with malt and coffee. The taste is carmamel and sweet, with a very smooth finish. this is a great double bock.

Bottle 33 cl. The excellence of German Doppelbock I thought was this Ayinger Celebrator. Have been looking forward to this beer for a long time, and big thanks go out to Ølbutikken for finally taking this fantastic beer home. Huge thick light brown head that really lasted. Excellent and lasting display of lacework in the glass. Clear mahogany color. The aroma was very complex with notes of bread, caramel, toasted malt and also heavy dried fruit mix. Hint of bubblegum and banana with a hint of coriander and wheat like notes. Over the palate comes almost chocolate and liquorish like notes. Very full bodied with an average carbonation and a thick texture. Heavy sweet flavor with light bitter notes. Lingering mix of bread and sweet liquorish like finish that lasted forever.
