Ayinger brews two great dark Bocks but which one is better? Celebrator or the Winter Bock? Time to test the two.
Category: Uncategorized
Ayinger Celebrator
Ayinger Celebrator is a rich dark brew with lots of dried fruit and fair hopping in the long dry bittersweet finish.
Schwanen-Bräu Vollbier
Schwanen-Bräu's Vollbier is a dark dry hoppy session beer found more often in Franconia than anywhere in Germany.
Sonnen-Bräu Weizen
This is a classic Weizen with lots of banana in both the nose and palate. It's surely a great summer quaffer.
Sonnen-Bräu Weizenbock
This surprisingly dry Weizenbock has a nice fruity quaffable quality that makes it dangerously drinkable
Sonnen-Bräu Mürsbacher Dunkel
This rich malty Dunkles has some some caramel in the nose and its soft full-bodied flavor has a touch of chocolate.
Sonnen-Bräu Dopplebock
This high octane Dopplebock has a rich malty nose and palate but its fair hopping lends to a fairly clean and not overly sweet brew.
Schlenkerla (Heller) Fastenbier
Schlenkerla's Fastenbier is a treat for Lent, when you give up things but are evidently rewarded with amazing beer. It's a touch less smoky than their flagship Märzen with a nice hoppiness to hold it all together.
Why not Andechs?
Andechs is one of the premier beer hiking destinations in Bavaria. With a lush forest, hilltop monastery, brewing monks and some great views of the Alps, it's tough to top. Mix in the amazing beer and food and it's beer nirvana.
