Commercial Description:
Celebrator has a creamy head of tight bubbles contrasting beautifully with its profound dark robe. It is full-bodied and velvety from half a year's aging. Although it is strong, it is not overpowering. There is a wonderful and complex balance between the various malts, the alcohol and the subtle hops. A complex fruitiness of roasted malt and whole hop flowers make Celebrator great as a party drink with friends and family at celebrations. Despite its richness, it has a faintly smoky dryness in the finish.

12 ounce bottle in tulip. Dark brown with fizzy head and lasting ring. I wonder how old this is. Toasted caramel woodsy portlike aroma. Taosted carmel brown sugar molasses sweetness with nie rounding bitterness in the finish. Medium body and medium carbo. Very nice doppelbock, though I’m not sure why this one is rated so much higher than others like Andechs and Maximator. I think I need to try to get a fresher bottle.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Blimey this is popular here. I wasn’t completely blown away by this though as I was hoping I would be. Indisputably its a fine example of the style, but it didn’t leave me craving another straight away and I left feeling a tad underwhelmed. Malt heavy, dark fruity aroma. Creamy, smooth mouthfeel with flavours of more malt, prunes, raisins, chocolate and a burntness..Probably one of the best German beers I’ve tried. I’ll leave it at that.

Extremely long lasting caramel flavor with roasted malts. One sip will last about five minutes, so take your time. This great warmth is counteracted by a slight cooling flavor, maybe grapes. The only improvements I can think of would be to slow down on the smokiness and darken the color somehow. Other than that, this is a great beer.

Dark brown nearly black color with a creamy head and ruby highlights. Aroma is strongly toasty maltiness. Taste of rich roasted maltiness is complimented nicely with a slight hoppiness in the back of the throat.

Overall I would have to say this was a great beer. It had a nice mix of coffee and fruity flavors.

12oz bottle aged one year. Pours darkest brown with a medium khaki head. Lots of malt in the nose with chocolate, lager yeast, fruit, coffee and nuts. Sweet flavor up front with some oak and a touch of vanilla followed by a hoppier nutty finish. Have to try a fresh one or better yet on tap and compare.

This beer reminds me of sweet soy sauce if I drink more than one of them. As far as double bock’s go, I don’t think you can beat the Paulaner Salvator.

Pours dark brown with minimal white head. Heavy carbonation. Aroma is of malt, chocolate, caramel, candy sugar, and alcohol. Taste is of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, candy sugars, spice, and alcohol. Lingering burnt malt taste. Mouthfeel is thick and malty. One of the few doppelbocks I like.
