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.

One of the better Dopple Bocks I’ve had. Pretty Malty with a thick head. Goes down smooth and subtle alcohol up front. Dark body.

Very deep ruby brown color and lasting, lacy beige head. Aroma is sweet, roasty malty with licorice. Quite dry, roasted malty flavor with nice bitterness . Aftertaste is dry and bitter. Full-bodied, sticky and smoothly carbonated palate.

Newcastle goes to Washington. Dark fruit aroma has a trist with malt. A Date with Raisin? Hops keeps it safe to drink..but little more influence. A sweet jazz song. Looks like a glass of cola. Tastes better as it cools from too low a temp. There is a joke in the movie "Beerfest" about drinking ram’s piss. There are two ram’s offering you a beer on this bottles label. I suggest you listen to the rams. Might be a little too dank sweet for me. Too long sitting in a darkened bar?

33 cL bottle, thanks to Grovlam. Pours dark and dense brown with a dense and tan head. Sweet cornish and mild roasted malt aroma. Flavour is mildly roasted malt with a mild fruity note. The alcohol certainly helps to lift the flavours up. Light breadish note before and into the finish. Quite malt dense yet light fruity sweet too. Light sharpness in the finish with a light roasted bitterness.

This was a great Doppelbock. Thick and malty, slightly sweet very well blended. Absolutely no lingering flavors.

Bottle. Coke coloured brownish red. Subtle malt and hops as well as coffee, chocolate and figs. Everything combines nicely and is very drinkable. Awesome brew!

Pours a nice deep brown with a quickly diminishing head leaving a hint of lacing. Malty, dark fruit aroma with a hint of alcohol burn. Big dark roasted malt kick up front on the tongue with a nice underlying sugary fruit lingering on the back. This thing just coats your mouth in a thick, syrupy, sweet, malty goodness. Flavor just keeps hanging on the tongue. Mouthfeel doesn’t get much better IMO. This is certainly the best dobblebock I’ve gotten my hands on. Despite the thickness, I could sip on these all night.

Pours a beautiful deep brown, almost black, with a robust tan head that fades to some lacing. The smell was sweet, almost fig with coffee hints. The taste was very good, cream, coffee, grain. The mouthfeel was creamy smooth, slightly thick with a bit of carbonation. The drinkability was very good, this is a beer i like to savor for a while but its highly drinkable. Just because of the richness its not a brew I could have too many of in a sitting.
