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. Poured a rich dark brown with a light tan foamy head which diminished quickly but stayed slightly throughout. The aroma was that of roasted molasses and chococolate malts. The mouthfeel was creamy and smooth with a mild carbonation. It tasted sweet and slightly bitter and finisheed nicely with the flavor of the chocolate malts lingering slighty. Overall a great brew.

Bottle. Pours red-brown with a cramy white head. Smells raisin and chocolate. Creamy taste of vanilla, dark chocolate and coffee. Chocolate in aftertaste. Small fruitiness. This was almost a little bit too enjoyable...

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is sweet, juicy, liquor like malt, dark fruits (mostly prunes), with some light hoppy notes in the background. Flavor is very reach, sweet malt and dark fruits with floral hops in the long finish. Simply Great!

Bottle brought home from Milano. Pours brown with a dense long lasting tan head. Aroma is lots of light roasted malt, wheat, caramel, dark fruits, nuts, alcohol and weak notes of liquorice. Flavour is malty, with notes of caramel, wheat, dark fruits, nuts and alcohol. An intense and very complex beer. Splendid!

Pours dark brown. Complex and interesting taste, but palate ends too sweet. Ends up tasting more like an extreme nut brown.

Pours a dark chocolate brown with a small tan head that doesn’t last very long. Aroma is sweet, with a lot of roasted malt, chocolate, and, dark fruit. The flavor is light and less sweet compared to the aroma, but just as complex and well balanced. Has a light but creamy palate, with a subtle sweetness and a dry finish. Wonderful brew.

Bottle, cellar temp. This beer is a dark red brown colour with a small off white head. The aromas are very smokey with prune, raisin, chocolate. Medium body, fairly creamy. There is plenty more smoke in the flavour with raisin, toasted brown bread, molasses.

330 ml. Bottle. Pours a deep, dark brown with red hues and a thin tan head that dissipates quickly but lasts throughout. Fair lacing. Huge bisquity malt aroma with lots of caramel and raisins. Flavor is complex with a rich malty sweetness, some toastiness, dark fruits and honey. A hop bitterness in the finish, almost peppery. Beautifully balanced. Not cloying at all. Medium body. Slightly warming.
