Celebrator Doppelbock Rocks

I don't do a lot of reviews but I have to make an exception. This beer has been a favorite of mine for quite some time although it's been a while since I've actually had it, until last night. I went to an annual beer tasting last night with friends. It's informal and everyone just brings beer and we grab at will the ones that look interesting. Not all of my friends like great beer - my best friend thinks Corona is a treat. Don't get me started.

But Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock is quite simply amazing and even if my pale tasteless ale drinking friends don't see it, those of us who love beer (and yes, a few of my other friends actually do) couldn't get enough of this brew last night. There were only a couple bottles brought and we were treating them like gold. I am a true fan of Bocks - especially the Double Bocks. There were a couple of others brought and I also tasted a dark wheat beer which was intriguing.

But Celebrator is top notch. The beer has a beautiful clear hazelnut brown color and is oh so smooth with a thick and creamy head. Now imagine drinking a caramel iced coffee with a little bit of fruity chocolate. Add small bubbles that add to the silkiness of the brew and you've just described Celebrator. Shoot, even on Beer Advocate with over 1,700+ reviews it receives an A. Just go get yourself a bottle of this beer and keep some around for special occasions - you will be happy you did!
