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.

dark pour almost like a stout or a porter. same type of tan head...and lots of it. sweet maltiness with a little bit of bitter on the nose. Tastes of hay and barnyard with a little bit of malty sweetness. very rich. great sipping beer.

Brown coloured beer with medium off-white head and no carbonation. Malty aroma. Full creamy and sparkling palate. Finish is roasted malty with a sweet touch ending bitter. Good one.

Poured dark brown with a moderate beige head. Aroma is brown sugar, fruity, roasted, chocolate, and vanilla notes coming together to make me think of a fresh baked cookie. Flavor is rich, sweet roasted malt, with coffee and dark fruit. One of the most complex lagers I’ve ever had.

Nice smooth malty aroma with notes of dates and fig. Pours out an almost black brown with a light toffee head. Flavor is a roasted malt with notes of coffee and a slightly hoppy long lasting finish.

Bouteille de 33 cl. Arômes très complexes de malt (fruits rouges, pruneaux, chocolat, caramel brûlé). Robe rousse très foncée, effervescence assez faible, peu de mousse. En bouche, la bière est moyennement ronde et soyeuse et présente un malt très complexe, avec des notes fruitées (cerises, pruneaux), de caramel foncé, de fumée et de chocolat. Devient plus chocolatée en réchauffant. Finale pas trop sucrée et légèrement amère. Un classique qui mérite bien sa réputation.

330ml bottle. Pours balck in colour, with persistent cappucino coloured head. Stong aroma of roasted malt. Flavour is slightly sweet, hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel is a bit flat, with fine carbonation.
