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 platinum medallions.

    Seriously satisfying. Incredibly dark body tone, but pours awfully frothy with a big light-coloured head. Smooth and toasty, with a bit of caramel and fruit without excessive sweetness.

    Plus you get a little plastic deer with every bottle. What’s not to like?

    The overpowering malty taste slaps you back to reality in an otherwise moral less world. Strong and without and sweet taste. A good almost coffee like aftertaste.

    A smooth, rich, almost black holiday bock from D’Fatherland. At 7% ABV, drink with caution or reckless abandon. Excellent bock in my book. Hil Ayinger!

    An amazing amount of color and depth. Smokey, hoppy with a little bit of spice. Tons of flavor. Totally killer!
