Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock
Bottle: Filtered
Ingredients: Water, barley malt, hops, yeast.
A beer that has a dominant malty taste. This beer’s origins in a monk’s recipe are reflected in its heartiness. The Pope of Beers, Conrad Seidl, describes it as: “Almost black with a very slight red tone, a sensational, festive foam and truly extraordinary fragrance that at first summons up visions of greaves lard. The first taste is of mild fullness with an accompanying coffee tone, which becomes more dominant with the aftertaste. There is very little of the sweetness that is frequently to be tasted with doppelbock beer.” The Ayinger Celebrator has been ranked among the best beers of the world by the Chicago Testing Institute several times and has won numerous medals. 18.5°

Schönes dunkles Bier mit tollen Malznoten.
Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dall'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Bollicine fini costituiscono anche la forma del perlage, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona e persistente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di caramello, miele, frutta secca, pane tostato, agrumi, frutta passita, prugna, rabarbaro e chiodi di garofano.
Very crisp and clean tasting with a hint of sweetness. Another thing I like about Bocks is the lack of a strong hop taste and bite. Pours a dark brown with a medium tan head. All German beers have a good mouthfeel, none feel really heavy and this is no exception. I really like Bock style beers as they are not overly strong and go well in the Spring or Fall. Purchased at Total Wine & More.
Dark brown with a tan head and a malty nose. Malty with a smooth mouthfeel and a long, caramel finish.
From bottle (BB Apr'23) in stein. Pours dark brown w/ruby edges, dense tan head, rich aroma of roast malt, mocha & fruit bread. Smooth & tasty w/balanced finish, uber-nice!
Optisch tiefschwarz! Die bräunliche, beinahe cremige Schaumkrone hat eine sehr flaumige und langlebige Konsistenz. Beeindruckend! Die Duftaromatik gibt sich unglaublich vielschichtig mit süßlichen, röstigen und röstig-herben Noten, die an dunkle Schokolade, Kakao, Kaffee, aber auch an fruchtige Komponenten wie Kirsche, Cassis, Dörrobst, aber auch Mon Cheri erinnern. Eine holzige, kastanienartige Würze rundet dieses Profil perfekt ab! Der Antrunk kommt weichspritzig und breit aromatisch, direkt Komplex mit leichter Süße und zarter Herbe. Kakao, Schokolade, Kaffee - und dazu hintergründige Frucht. Am Gaumen geht das Spektakel weiter bzw. setzt sich auf gleicher Linie fort... Sämtliche Aromen, welche man in der Nase bereits wahrnehmen durfte, nimmt man exakt genau so am Gaumen wahr. Die zarte Süße, Kakao, Schokolade, die leichte Röstigkeit und Herbe von dunkler Schokolade und Mokka, die satten, überreifen bis dörrobstartigen Fruchtaromen, ... alles da! Trotz dieser Komplexität bleibt dieser dunkle Doppelbock unfassbar leichtgängig und wirkt in keiner Phase alkoholisch, spritig oder schwer. Dem sämigen und vollen Mundgefühl steht eine, für dieses Bier, überraschend gute Süffigkeit gegenüber. Das muss mal einer nachmachen! Im Nachtrunk kann man sämtliche Aromen nochmal revue passieren lassen. Anfangs spazieren die fruchtigen Noten nochmal über den Gaumen. Danach bleibt es fast unendlich lange süßlich-herb... Kakao, Schokolade und Kaffee dominieren das Geschehen.
Fazit: Unglaublich komplex und ausgewogen bei nur 6,7% Alkohol. In dieser Art und Weise gibt es kaum ein Bier auf diesem Niveau. Eines der allerbesten Biere auf dieser Welt. Und womöglich das beste seines Stils!
Bottled 4/22. Very dark red with a fat dense coat of beige head. Oozing malty aroma with dark sugars and bread. Smooth with modest carbonation. Malty but only fairly sweet with dark sugars and hints of stewed fruit before bitterness and spices that lighten the load. Has real presence without being too strong and remaining very drinkable.
Top 50 mais pas trop à mon goût.
Bottiglia da 0,33 con una bellissima etichetta. Color marrone scuro dalla schiuma color avorio non molto persistente. All'olfatto note di biscotto e miele. In bocca gusto molto dolce, decisamente beverina per essere una doppelbock
Brune claire à mousse sympa. Nez sur le chocolat, le caramel, la prune. Bouche vraiment agréable avec du chocolat, du malt, du caramel, du fruit confit, du candi, du grillé. L'amertume est présente et est de bon aloi.
Redish brown color with light brown head. Malt, bead, roast, coffee aromas. Light bitterness and sweetness. Very oily body, bit fizzy with lasting finish.
Bottle 330 ml ABV 6.7 % from Wine Rack, Turnham Green. Aroma is toasted malt, swet caramel, hints of coffee. Pours murky dark chest nut body with a large beige head. Taste is rich with malt, caramel, dark fruit, caramel, hints of coffee, alcohol. Superb beer.
11.2 ounce bottle of at The Winking Lizard in Copley, Ohio.Sweet malt aroma. Black in color with tan head. Amazing malt taste. Some sweetness. Smooth and medium bodied. Light malt aftertaste. Just a wonderful beer. Cheers!
Das Etikett des Celebrators und die kleine Plastik-Figur am Hals mögen etwas kitschig wirken, aber bei der alt-ehrwürdigen Brauerei in Aying passt das einfach.
Geschmacklich habe ich selten einen derartig samtig, intensiven aber dennoch ausgewogenen Bock erlebt. Das Bier liefert die alkoholgeschwängerten Fruchtnoten ohne dabei zu tief ins Schnapsglas zu fallen. Dazu eine feine Malzigkeit, die sich angenehm im Mund verbreitet.
Hat mir wirklich sehr gut geschmeckt.
Pełny koźlak, przyprawowy, lekko rozgrzewający.

Pours a deep mahogany colour with a thinnish creamy beige head. Aromas of dry dark fruits, berries, caramel and toasty brown bread. Taste is more dark fruits, fruit cake, caramel, chocolate, a touch smoky and nutty, also a burnt roasty bitterness and a touch of brown sugar on the finish. Medium body, low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice.
