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.

Pours a dark brown with a big frothy tan head. The aroma is full of brown hops and alcohol... something sweet and earthy in there, too. The flavor has lots of raisins and malt, with a quick finish. The mouthfeel is solid, but not thick, mainly due to the finish. A really solid, excellent beer.

11.2 bottle. As stated, dark brown, almost like a porter, with the creamy head that faded quickly, and a smooth sweet hoppy taste. Don’t know if it’s worth the price exactly, but still a very nice beer.

Pours a dark brown with a thin white head with decent lacing. Aroma is sweet caramel malts. Flavor is similar, with additional notes of clover honey. Nicely sweet and malty. Very smooth drinking and thick, almost syrupy mouthfeel. A very nice beer.

Overall, a nice beer, but I expected something more complex... there’s lots of banana and clove and alcohol is muted as they say, but I was left wanting for something more... There are stouts and porters with more complexity and mouthfeel that deserve better ratings.

A velvety smooth stocking for tongue. You can’t taste the alcohol and the malt mellowness makes this a really great after dinner beer, especially if dinner is rouladen.

This is a great beer, but a 4.11!?!?! No way. The aroma is not complex or strong. It is very smooth and has a complex taste of malts and hops that is well balanced. It is the best dopple ive had, but there are way better beers ranked much lower.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a three finger brown head. Aroma of honey and sweet malt with caramel notes as well. Flavor of caramel with a slightly bitter finish. Creamy full bodied beer with low/mild carbonation.
