Sep 8, 2007 I grabbed this one just by visually shopping at my new favorite store here in Albuquerque (I have since moved). When the "beer guy" at the shop told me it was a lot like Celebrator and that I could even do a side by side tasting, my immediate thought was something along the lines of: "Brother. You are really putting your reputation on the line here." It was my first suggestion from him and anyone in the store for that matter. I took his advice though and took a bottle of Celebrrator to do a side by side tasting. The two are virtually twins I feel, with minimal characteristic differences. The Celebrator has a more roasted quality and the Kulmbacher has a sweeter edge...and also 2.5% more on the ABV. Overall I appreciated this one quite a bit and was surprised how similar it was to Celebrator.

Dec 31, 2008 This is quite a remarkable beer. It pours a deep, dark brown with a rich tan head that disappears quickly. This reminds me a lot of the Spaten Optimator, a dopplebock, but this beer has more spice, nuts, and complexity. The aroma is rich and sweet. Alcohol is barely noticeable in the aroma and more noticeable in the flavor. The palate is full and heavy. The flavor has brown sugar, nuts, and alcohol, and is quite sharp and bright overall. The flavor doesn’t linger long either. This is no doubt a great winter beer.

Nov 19, 2009 Beer starts with an excellent german dark roasted grain aroma. Beer poors deep mahogony with a slight white head. Flavor is excellent with hints of plum and raisin. Beer finish is suprising as I expected a sticky finish due to the alchol but this wasn’t the case. Overall this beer was excellent and I look forward to having it again

Dec 23, 2009 Chestnut brown color with a semi-thick cream colored head. The color has garnet hues and mahogany tones. Very interesting appearance. The head thins rather quickly but holds to the glass well. Strong aroma of brown sugar and dried fruits: figs, dates, and brandied raisins. Rich taste that isn’t as sweet as the nose would indicate. Instead it’s a mouthful of toast and tart fruit. Medium booziness fades into a surprisingly bitter hoppiness. The high alcohol content is noticeable, for sure, but not overpowering. Instead, the alcohol provides a nice backdrop for the roasty malts and hop bitterness. Exceptionally well balanced and shockingly drinkable given the full flavor profile and high ABV.
