The Anaconda and Ayinger Celebrator Dopplebock
These two are wonderful together. The beer has a great sweet malty taste and creamy style. It is light in carbonation and rich in complexities. The pleasant slight spiciness of the beer plays good with this cigar. As I puff the cigar and then place the glass up to the mouth I get the wonderful aromas from the beer.
The cigar helps to tame the malty sweetness of the beer. Saying, the sweet maduro works with the sweet malts of the beer, making a nice flavor profile. I think the coffee and chocolate profile of the cigar brings out a mild coffee flavor from the beer. The bready aroma and taste from the beer mellows the cigar for a pleasant smoke.
Since I am on the last half of the cigar, the spiciness is wanting to kick up but, those malty notes from the beer seem to settle the cigars spiciness down. This is a great way to finish this cigar.
What a day. Perfect call all the way. Great pairings today. I started at 12:45 with the Anaconda and enjoyed the Perkulator and then moved on to the Celebrator. It is now 3:40 and the cigar is just getting down to the end. I’ll make it to the 3 hour mark with this cigar. And, the Red Wings just lost again in an overtime shoot-out. Some things just don’t change, losing in overtime shoot-outs and great cigar pairs.
