The Sharp Edge also carries my personal favorite on tap, a Bavarian double bock affectionately nicknamed “ Old Goat” because of the artwork on the outer label but its true name is “Celebrator Double Bock” brewed by Ayinger brewery. It is not an easy brew to find but if you do spot it by heavens do give it a try. It is a beer that has a dominant malty taste. This beer’s origins are in a monk’s recipe and reflected in its heartiness. It is also known as 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 the Austrian Alps. 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.. 11.2 oz brown bottle with a plastic trinket goat tied around the neck. No freshness date, not to worry as this brew has a longer shelf life that normal beers. It is also described as having an earthy, nutty-bordering-on-woody nose with sweet roasted malt accents. A rich, frothy entry leads to an off-dry, full-bodied palate with intense raisin, dried fruit compote, roasted nuts, and mild molasses flavors. Finishes with an earthy mild hops and toasted dark nut bread fade with a lingering vinous note. A distinctive and delicious doppelbock Celebrator is the finest German beer. It is a bottom-fermented, dark double buck bier.Alcohol content: 6.7 %
