A traditional dopplebock fermented with a Bohemian lager yeast. Reddish brown in color, with a mild hop profile, Consecrator is a well balanced, full bodied beer with hints of caramel and molasses in its smooth, malty finish.

[1] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/2/2008 1:11:30 AM)
"Bells beers usually have a high expectation with me, and deservedly so. They make some top notch beers, so when I don’t get something that doesn’t give me that wow factor, I’m caught off guard a little. That’s what happened with this, but it’s still a nice beer.
An aroma of sweet malts and a hint of alcohol. It pours out the color of Pepsi/Coke in my glass...brownish/reddish/purple with a light beige head. Flavors of toffee, treacle, dark fruit and alcohol, but nothing outwardly intense. Tasty, but plain."

"Pours a clear reddish-brown color with a thin, rapidly disappearing off-white head. Aromas of sweet malt with figs and raisins; light hop profile. Smooth, round and full mouthfeel. Taste is very malt-sweet with ripe dark fruit flavors. MUSIC: 'Sweet Sweet Heartkiller' by Say Hi To Your Mom"

"Batch 8251. This dopplebock pours a reddish amber color from a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet with a touch of spiciness. A medium bodied dopplebock. The malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. The hops are slightly spicy. Lively carbonation, perhaps a little too lively for this style of beer. Nicely balanced. Hides the alcohol well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of alcohol. "

[4] Review by rainman from Alexandria, VA, USA who has tried this beer once. (3/9/2008 6:14:04 PM)
"Well, it pours a reddish orange with a fine head that dissipates very quickly. So, in essence, no head. Aroma is sweet. Flavor is sweet. Very malted with some hints of dark fruit and maybe apple. Unfortunately, in the end, it is just too darned sweet."

[5] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (3/3/2008 8:04:26 AM)
"2008 release, I was able to get a couple singles from the local bottle shop. Pours a clear, vibrant reddish-brown with a steady carbonation. There is an initially thick, khaki colored head that diminishes to a thin layer coupled by lots of spotty lacing. Aroma is reminiscent of dark, musty fruits. Brown sugar and raisins are prevalent as well. Velvety smooth and soft mouth feel, lighter on the palate than was expected. Sweet and calm, this is a very drinkable Doppelbock. Flavor mirrors the aroma quite well. Mildly sweet with lots of plums and raisins along with a hint of banana and vanilla. Plenty of caramel, a touch nutty. The taste is rounded out by a very subtle wine characteristic. I found this to be surprisingly mild and well put together. Far too often this style can be overpowering or too sweet, but this is nicely crafted."
