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.

Nice dark look with a good sized head. Has a strong aroma of roasted almonds and toffee. Dry and sweet.

After many, many tastings and ratings of this here brew. My score will remain the same. This is the beer that , well, started me drinking something other than BMC. However, I find it much less tastey then on tap.

Pours deep carmel with a nice thick cap of tan head. Gentle toasty grain aromas...and something that reminds me of angelfood cake. Amazingly clean and smooth on the palate. Flavors of toffee and carmel with just a bit of roasty chocolate. Not necessarily my style of choice, but never-the-less, clearly a well crafted beer, brewed with great single-mindedness and purpose.

Dark brown pour with fizzy tan head. Aromas of nutty sweet malt, fruit, and coffee. Flavors of caramel, sweet malt, fruit, nuts, roasted coffee, etc. Medium, smooth mouthfeel. Pretty complex doppelbock. Very good.

Pours a very dark brown, and almost syrupy. Thick tan head which doesn't linger long. Some roastiness to the nose, but also a very sweet aroma. Very sweet taste. Serious quantities of malt. Lots of chocolate. Some subtle fruitiness. Alcohol somewhat evident, but not the overpowering taste. This is very complex. This is great!

Warm toffee notes, poured a respectable head, slightly tinted brown. Strong full bodied flavor, intense roast, yet some spice and raisin that I wasn’t expecting. Superb.

This one rates in the "classic" pages in my book. They have the history and knowledge to do it right and they do. Please sir, may I have another?
