Paulner Salvator was the "original" Doppelbock of commerical breweries (I should say at least so it goes, there was likely several small German breweries that had Doppelbocks. Anyhow, all the commercial Doppel's tend to end in "ATOR" as a nod to Salvator. You see the same deference from many craft american doppels.
