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 pours deep black, almost opaque with thin tan head. Aroma is roasted malt and dark fruit. First taste is sweet roasted malt and some spice. The dark fruits are present in the middle, as well as the finish. There is something else in the finish I cant put my finger on. Very good doppelbock.

Poured into stem glass, Dark brown color with a frothy off white head. Not much lacing on glass. Smells of chocolate, flowers,burnt fruit,malt and caramel. Taste is complex but appearent is malts,hops,chocolate,fruits,licorice and a overall roasted flavor that adds a great balance to this beer. Alcohol and bitterness is in proportion and work well with the flavors. Palate is smooth, sturdy and leaves a great aftertaste on the back of the tongue. A great doppelbock.

Pours amber dark brown with white frothy head. Smells fruity and sweet with hints of chocolate and toffee. Tastes tart, sweet, and malty, with some roasty, chocolate, fermented fruit, and a little bitterness. Pretty good.

33cl degustata sabato sera; le mie aspettative erano molto alte, quindi non posso non considerarmi un pochino deluso, tuttavia rimane un’ottima doppelbock (stile che forse non è fra i miei preferiti), corposa, dolce e fragrante.

Crushed with TheDude. He said it would change my perspective and Doppelbocks. He was right. Deep Dark brown pour. Malty, fruity aroma. Delicious, roasty, caramel, slightly bitter hops. Big thick mouthfeel. Thanks Dude, this was totally awesome.

From bottle. Part of February Dayton Beer Tasting event. Poured gorgeous deep brown with substantial tan head. Aromas of malt, chocolate, and candied cherries. Very complex taste centered around its malty sweetness. Gets better as it warms up a little bit. Great effort.

Bottle. Deep brown with thick, rich tan head. Earthy aroma of date nut bread and banana peel. Creamy, roasted caramel flavor, cappuccino, bitterness fades into sweetness.

(bottle) pours the darkest ruby-black with a bubbly, creamy brown head. aroma of chocolate and hazelnut, dark fruits, most notably cherries, roasted malts, coffee and a light herbal hoppy note. well-rounded flavour of roasted malts, chocolate and coffee, with hints of dark fruit and herbal hops. medium bodied, with smooth carbonation and a dry roasted-bitter finish. an extremely well-balanced doppelbock!
