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.

This stuff comes on like gangbusters with a huge nose and a smooth but kaleidoscopic blend of malts.

Rich, thick and chewey. Serve in a snifter to really bring out the aroma of the hops, malt and alcohol. A spicy dry, dark fruit finish.

Porued into a magnificently awesome glass of perfection . Taste the molasses, and carmel with and strong malty finish. Difficult to find, costly, but worth it on occasion. Rich dark color, one hell of a fine example of Quality.

Has a dark ruby colour, with a good head. The aroma is magnificent. Never smelled something as good. Coffee, fruits (plums), spices, alcahol, it"s all there. The flavour is not as great but still it"s way beoynd most other beers. Again some coffee/caramel, fruits (apples) and spices. Very wellbalanced beer. In the aftertaste there is a pleasant smoothe bitterness. Absolute a great beer.

Black, but thin bodied, with a nice roasty nose. Smooth as silk with an easy alcoholic aspect, almost like a chocolate liquer. Exceptionally balanced mouthfeel and understated for a powerful brew.
