Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock

Poured from an 11.5oz bottlle. Dark brown with a bit of red when held up to a bright light source. Thick, longlasting, tan head. Aroma of malt with a hint of raisins. Very thick malty taste with a nice hop balance on the finish. This is my first experience with a doppelbock. I can’t imagine one that could be better.

Oh this is a terrific Doppelbock. Aroma of candied fruits. Beautiful dark ruby red pour. Taste of fruits, malts some hops in the finish. Best example of the style I’ve tried.

Bottled 33cl. 6.7 ABV. Expiry date april 2004. Aged example. Appearance: It pours an almost black beer with ruby reflects. Creamy beige head. Good retention. Beautiful lacework. Aroma: Wonderful nose. Malty, woody and buttery with hints of brown sugar, plums, dark chocolate, mince pies, seaweed, chestnut purée and honey. Very complex and strong with an outstanding smoky component. Faintly salty. Excellent. Flavor and palate: Sweet malty taste with chestnut purée, honey, roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee, candy floss, brown sugar and seaweed showing up. Full bodied. Slightly salty. Low bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Perfectly balanced. There is a sublime smokiness in the taste as well. Pumpernickel sneaking in. Some alcohol appearing with the swallow. Spicy buttery finish with lingering chestnut purée. Overall impression: Flawless. Extremely pleasant and complex. Sublime. Perfect. Thanks a lot bov for giving me this beer!

Pours deep amber brown with a nice tan head. Aroma is very malty. Taste is very malty and super smooth for a doppel bock. Great balanced beer.

Tap @ OTH. Pours dark amber,off-white head. Aroma hoppy, malty, mix of fruits, with a near vegetable nose. Taste, very sweet, caramely / sugary, possibly licorice, light fruits tones (cherry), thick mouthfeel, little hoppy in aftertaste. Some roastiness in the finish. I can’t help but notice some earthly/vegetable taste similar to the aroma.
