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 three finger light brown head that fades quickly no lace. Almost black color. Light carbonation and heavy bodied. Molasses nose. Starts with a sweet molasses flavor, hints of roasted coffee in finish. Great double bock. $2.45 for a 11.2oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.

Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a tan head. Sweet and malty nose with notes of caramel, fruit, and fresh bread. Medium full body. Flavor is roasted malt, coffee and fresh bread with some earthy notes and a bit of sweet caramel right up front. Long sweet and dry finish. One of my favorite beers. (My 100th rating!)

Bottle. Pour is deep brown with a nice ruby twinge to it. Nice fluffy khaki head. Aroma is malty, chocolaty and a nice roast smell. Taste is creamy, with a nice chocolate sweetness to it. The body is wonderful, big without being overpowering. Finish has a nice clean dryness to it. Overall, a very nice beer.

Full, light brown head. Dark brown chestnut color, some light gets through showing dark red highlights. Massive nose of malt,fresh baked bread, grain and some fruitiness. Med/full body, DUH! Medium sweet, not like alot of sickningly sweet bocks. Malty, creamy, luxurious mouthfeel, nice. Black licorice, Slight coffee notes. Pleasent dry roasty finish. A real complex tasting brew. Wonder how it would age? Hmmmmm.

Dark reddish-brown with medium head. Aroma is very roasty with sweet caramel/nut essence. Taste is very full bodied with roasted dark malts. Bits of dark fruit and some hop tingle detectable. Overall, a pretty damn good D-bock.

Bottle. Poured a ruby read with a medium but attractive tan head and good lacing. Nose is fantastic, with fruits, citrus, and chocolate, and just a little coffee. Very smooth mouthfeel and a flavor of chocolate, coffee, and toast. But not burnt toast. A remarkable brew. Slightly dry finish with a nice touch of hops. Best dopplebock ever for me.
