Bells Consecrator Doppelbock

better than ayinger? definitely fresher for those of us here. one of the best i've had. not too dark, or cloyingly sweet. almost a food like satisfaction from drinking it though. definitely try to buy a few if you find them

Well done example of dopplebock, from a brewery that is know for its world class ales. I’m happy to say, Bell’s can do lagers, as well as they do ales. Consecrator is a very well done domestic example of dopplebock. This beer pours to a beautiful, bright, deep amber to red color, with a thick, creamy, white head, and a moderate carbonation. The nose on this beer is excellent, with lots of good toasty, and nutty malt aroma. The palate is firm, with good nutty and toasty malt flavor, on a very smooth, slick, polished body. Consecrator finishe with more good, firm, toasty and nutty malt up front, then ends with a peppery, alcohol bite that lingers. Excellent domestic example of a German classic. A great after work, or after dinner drink. This beer is an excellent beer to sip and relax with during the cold, winter months. Another winner from Bell’s.

great dark beer. nice thick flavor. very balanced flavor and not over powering. over all a good beer that is highly recommended

Wow! Another great brew by Bells! If my rating seems a bit high, it probably because I had this out of the tap at the brewery. Heavy malty flavor complimented by sweet caramel, molasses, and hops. Alcohol is present if you go looking for it. I detected a smokiness as well, great beer!

Stunning stuff. Full bodied, warming, sweet and a huge mouthful. There is no other Doppelbock I would ever want in my hand! Seasonal, so run to it in the spring!
