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.

It’s easy to taste why this beer is so acclaimed. Perfectly balanced, velvety smooth, you wouldn’t guess the high alcohol content by taste. Lovely appearance, too--evidently this its what’s in all the mugs in every picture of Oktoberfest I’ve ever seen.

Very robust, with tons of caramel aroma and flavor. The fairly sweet, assertive malt is well balanced with the hops. Powerful without being overpowering, and an excellent example of the style.

Huge creamy beige head. Big complex malty aroma. Nice flavor balance between malty sweetness and chocolate malt/hops. This is about the best Bock available!

Leaves me utterly complacent. Few other beers can do this. Awesome brew!

This one pours a very dark, ruby brown color with a medium sized off-white head that lingers. It has a nice, all malt aroma. Full bodied and smooth, the flavor is strongly malty, with a lingering sweet finish and a perfect amount of carbonation. Fantastic! A beer to tell your grandchildren about.

Pours with a a nice thick head, a light tan in color, that slowly dissipates, lacing the glass as you drink. A rich brown in color, it blends a full and creamy feel with slightly sweet malt flavors and a faintly dry finish. Fantastic.
