Other Information
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.

This is the smoothest doppelbock I’ve tried. It is more bitter than sweet and is divided between malty and dark fruit flavours. A must try if you are sampling bocks.
Charlie Johnson –
A full five stars!. 6.7% of Rich Dark Malty Caramely goodness, not as sweet as some doppelbock beers but a definite addition to my repeat buying list.
Marcus Wellings –
Great tasting beer doesn’t taste like a 6.7% beer goes down nice and smooth 3rd time I’ve ordered this beer
Paul C –
Saved this for my birthday.
Worth the wait .
Really smooth malty Doppelbock with a liquorice aftertaste.
Definitely have again.
Kul –
A lovely mocha coloured foam, dark body but red when held to the light. Great subtle but defined malty taste which lingers at the back of the throat then comes back to tickle your tongue.
At 6.7% you need to respect this beer as well as love it.
Kristin –
Very nice beer! Malty, caramel and a lovely taste of licorice. So smooth,
John Sanders –
I’ve been saving this bottle for a rainy day (ok, it was in the back of the cupboard and I completely forgot it was there). This beer pours almost black, but hold it up to the light and there is a deep red. Not a massive head and it dies quickly, but that may be due to the choice of glass – a goblet Not a lot of aroma – a slight woody fustiness but the sweetness of the malt is pleasant. The taste is simply fantastic, and isn’t that what it’s all about? Malt, figs, plums – typical Doppelbock but this is on another level. A surprisingly dry finish as the hops make their presence felt. World class.
Colin A –
It’s a fairly strong percent beer but doesn’t taste it, so it’s pretty easy to drink. Very dark beer with mild carbonation with not much head. not too hoppy, more malty and very nice tasting.
Kris –
Nice little treat of a beer I enjoyed last night – feels well balanced between a dark lager and Belgian style strong beer. Plus it comes with a nice tag
David Hanson –
Solid malty & fruity. Not sweet but taste of toffee & licorice
James Russell –
Malty & rich flavour. Its growing on me, I’m enjoying this more as I drink more of it.
Peter –
not bad at all, would buy again
Beerdrinker –
Very nice indeed: dark and lovely
Nick S –
Not usually a fan of Doppelbocks, but have to admit I quite enjoyed this one.
WJ –
Very good doppelbock, sweet and malty, but nothing that sets it apart from the rest. Comes with a toy bock attached for the kids 🙂
FoggyMountainMan –
You want to try a few doppelbocks? Make sure to try this fantastic beer.
Luke Manley –
A great beer. Would buy again.
Xavier Crepin –
I used to like it the first times I tasted it, but this time was a bit disappointed by its lack of taste and depth . Slightly bitter after taste
TG –
it’s a good beer, but perhaps not quite the strong flavours of some other Doppelbocks
Steven Nicholas –
It’s a very highly regarded doppelbock but I find it less rich than others in the style. Still a fine beer.
