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.

12oz. Pretty exquisite. Sweet malt nose with a bit of coffee and chocolate. Pour is dark red-brown. Flavor is unending roasted malt with some citrus, hop and well-integrated alcohol. Lingers on the finish. Body is interesting, lighter than I expected... not quite as viscous as some but this is well appreciated.

Poured dark stout black with a fleeting brown head. Very rich malt aroma. Flavor is dark malts with a light bitter aftertaste followed by nutty mocha.

bottle. aroma...malts and hops all over the sinus. smells like nutts and also like sour fruit. great dark brown color with little to no head. great lacing. the taste of this beer may be too complex for me too try to rate but here goes, very malty with a hint of hops. kind of caramel and nuts mixed with yeast? not sure about that. what I do know is that this beer is one of my favorites for sure. this is an all round good mix for a doppelbock. it’s just right on everything. this may just be the best beer I have had in the last few months and there have been many. everyone must try this one.

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.

Full bodied and malty, roasty and soft, one oof the best beers sold in Alko in Finland. The complexity of the malts and the overall balance of it all makes this a great beer for me.

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.

dense, dark brown pour with a reddish tint and large, fizzy tan head. Malty, roasty, alcoholic (but not offputtingly so) aroma. Malty flavor with brown sugar and, seemingly, rye bread.
