greedycheater (77), Oklahoma, USA Feb 19, 2008 An aroma that merely hints at the taste enjoyment to follow. It appears plain to the nose and eye, but to the mouth, it is a tasty treat! Rich and creamy, but light on the palate.
ckau (13), north east, Maryland, USA Sep 6, 2008 Great all around beer. smooth smoky aroma that maintains throughout the bottle. Thick tan head holds well for a little while. Malty, melanoidin flavor that would go great with something salty. Alcohol heat not present, a little warming in the stomache. Fun beer to drink... NextBestThing (15), Westtown, New York, USA Sep 6, 2008 Awesome double bock. Reddish undertone in a dark, dark, almost black beer. Disguises the alcohol expertly. Delicious medium body with discernibly roasted notes. Perfect for the style, nothing remotely offensive about this outstanding doppel. Excellent nose, excellent mouthfeel, excellent drinkability, excellent everything. Long live the King of dopplebocks. mca47 (1), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA does not count Sep 5, 2008 Nice dark brown pour with a head that develops. Yeast(y) and sweet aroma. Very smooth palate and nice malty flavor. Aftertaste holds on the roasted malt and leaves slightly bitter.
Great beer! SmaugAle (2), , California, USA does not count Sep 5, 2008 Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock 6.7% ABV
1st nose, it is hoppy, with 1 inch head.
1st taste was light and a bit fizzy.
Dry, soft, chocolaty finish.
End was kinda thickish.
Very good, and acceptable with steak, ribs, sausage.
Bought cold, let stand on table for a bit. Berserkir (27), California, USA Sep 5, 2008 Poured dark stout black with a fleeting brown head. Very rich malt aroma. Flavor is dark malts with a light bitter aftertaste followed by nutty mocha.
