The beer had a pitch black color and coffee and malty smell. There was only a little head. The beer had a good smell.

I like the flavor. There's a coffee taste, and the taste is not sharp. It's more mellow with some bitterness. 3:17 PM PT

Finishing this beer, it's sugary. I give it 4 out of 5 stars. I enjoyed drinking this beer. I like the sugary coating that's left on the tongue.

My nasal congestion is medium difficulty to forcibly breathe through the nose ("BM"). 4:28 PM PT

Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock
Rich, classic Bavarian specialty lager often consumed as a celebration beer.

The History of Celebrator Doppelbock
Doppelbocks ("double bocks") were probably first brewed in the 17th century by monks in Bavaria - a stronger version of bock beers that originated in Einbeck, Germany. Doppelbocks are usually rich, malty lagers; usually dark-colored; the names often end with the suffix "-ator." Ayinger Celebrator is probably little changed from the doppelbock first brewed at Ayinger in 1878; Ayinger's doppelbock was once called "Fortunator" but this global classic is called "Celebrator" around the world now.

Taste
A rich, dark elixir with cascading layers of malt complexity balanced by elegant hops. Notes of toffee, caramel, graceful dark-malt roastiness, and the essence of barley. Lager fermentation leads to clean flavors and pinpoint conditioning. Semi-dry finish.

Serving Suggestion
Pastries and desserts, roast goose, cured ham, smoked duck, wild turkey, filet with Dijon sauce, chanterelles, Tournedos Rossini, Châteaubriand. Enjoy with a fine cigar after dinner. Serve in stemmed tumbler at 50 °F.
