If you are are able to get your hands on on of these hard to find beers, you have many reasons to celebrate. Brewed in Bavaria, this beer is a douplebock, a thick heavy beer with more alcohol content than most. It has been brewed since the eighteenth century once a year. The tapping of these kegs is the second biggest beer celebration in Munich, next to Oktoberfest.
Sight - A dark, dark beer, one can only see through the beer when held to a light. The darker, the better for a double dock. The head is also dark, both inviting the drinker to drink, but to take our time at the same time.
Smell - One attribute that Celebrator double bock that makes it different from all others is the smell and the spices that are used in making it. When poured, you not only smell the dark beer, but the aroma of Christmas cake. The sweetness of the cake and the bitterness of the beer give this beer a very distinct character.
Taste - One sip gives a sweet satisfaction to the drinker. Once swallowed, the bitterness of the double bock is brought forth, a complete opposite to the sweet taste beforehand. Add the creamy head that this beer carries, and you have a dessert beer that can also be enjoyed any time of the day or night.
Overall - This is one of the best beers I have every tasted. Ever. From the first sip to the last, the beer goes down smooth and satisfying. It will also bring forth potent reminders that there is a good amount of alcohol in it. Half the beer is enough to get you a good buzz. The only complaint I have for the beer is the price. Nearly fifteen dollars for four beers is a very steep price and turns away lots of people. A beer for anyone who loves beer, and if you do not love beer, leave for those who do. Plus, it comes with a free Christmas ornament with every bottle. Prost!
5 out of 5 cheers!
