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.

Bottle: Poured a deep brown with thick tan head. Smelled like roasted coffe and dark malts. Tastes of slight hops, but includes a rich chocolate disquise which masks the alcohol. Very much enjoyed.

Pours deep dark red with a tan head, medium sized. Aroma of wheat, malt, and cherry and other red fruits. Lots going on in this one, malt, raisin, plum, clove. Starts off sweet and ends up slightly sour. Just the right amount of carbonation. Absolutely amazing beer.

Deep brown with tan head. Very complex. Cherry, malt, chocolate, toffee. Some taste of hops, but smooth. Long aftertaste. Smells like a bakery.

Pours a dark brown almost black color, a little bit of creamy white head out of the bottle. The aroma is of sweet malt, grains, and warm alcohol. Nicely Carbonated. Very good beer, interesting taste, almost a mixture between a Guiness and a Cider to me. Has a warm alcohol with an almost fruit like aftertest.
