Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Doppelbock
Aying, Germany

This is a wonderful drinking experience. From the beginning of the pour to the last drop. This beer is full of chocolate, roast, licorice, cherries, oak, vanilla, peat smoke, and hops. Full-bodied and malty with a complexity that begs for another sip.

Bottle - Pours deep dark brown with thick tan head. Aroma is sweet malt with some chocolate notes. Medium palate with a silky creamy velvet feel. Nice complex flavor with some sweetness. Roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, maple and some hints of vanilla in the follow-through. No bitterness at all, just sweet malty goodness. Overall this is an outstanding beer and easily the best doppelbock I’ve had.

Bottle from Wilbur’s poured into Celebrator-esque glass - Pours a DEEP brown with a 2 finger light brown head that left spotty lacing; Milk and dark chocolates, caramel, toffee, powdered milk on a wonderfully sweet and inviting aroma; Coffee, caramel, roasted barley, bread pudding with hints of dried fruits and chocolate on the initial taste; Roast, vanilla, whipped cream, doughy sugar cookies and an alcoholic kick on the aftertaste; Smooth medium-full body; Pleasant carbonation; Definitely a new favorite! Minimal bitterness and a very complex taste. Left me feeling relaxed and wanting more!

Dark brown with small head. Smells of roasted malts, nuts. Great complex taste with roast, malts, nuts, some dark cherries, some vanilla. Coats your mouth and just a great beer.

one of my favorites as well. kept a few goats to hang from my xmas tree. the big surprise is that my wife likes it.

Very very good doppelbock. Dark Dark brown, almost black in color. Nice mild chocolate/coffee aroma. This is only the 2nd double bock beer i have tried, the first being Broken Top Bock. This one is very good, but has nowhere near the complexities of the Broken Top Bock. Very straightforward and malty. Quite smooth, roasted malt flavor. Some coffee,vanilla and chocolate, but all very underlying and not overpowering. Very balanced and not too hoppy. Could drink several of these.

one of the best beers i’ve ever had. the celebrator is packed with complexity. a well-balanced beer; highly recommended.

Very dark body, brown and minimal head. Aroma light soy and molasses. A very good Doppelbock.
