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. Brown pour with massive light brown head. Aroma of caramel, sugar and gingerbread. Taste of malt, orange peel and nuts with a great finish.

Pours an extremely dark brown. Tan head that dissipates quickly, but a swirl easily brings back a creamy looking tan head. The aroma is very sweet and malty. Hints of berries, cherries, and candy. Some toffee and caramel. It reminds me of a creamsicle. The flavor is very sweet and malty as well. Lots of berries or cherries and candy toffee. There is a light lingering bitterness and hints of roast and chocolate. It coats the mouth very well and has no carbonation feel. A really creamy medium body. Overall, this is a fantastic brew. Great flavor, great balance, and a damn good feel.

33 cl bottle, bought at Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Dark brown color, nice tan head. Aroma is dried fruit and roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with bitterness in the finish. Very nice, but a bit watery finish.

Antique wood brown with a strong tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. I can sense a really dark chocolate with a dried cherry, raisin or orange peel. There is just a hint of sweetness. The beer is creamy and a little sticky.

Pillowy white head and a deep rich amber color. Complex notes of fruit and malt coalesce for a truly enjoyable beer.

It has a mocha head with dark expresso body. Aroma is malty and chocolate. Tastes of burnt malt and carmel, with hints of fruit. Goes down really easy for a beer this dark. Great beer, a possible favorite.

Roasted malty aroma of dark bread, syrup and chocolate. Syrupy-sweet flavor is roasted malts, bread and chocolate. Very tasteful.
