Michelob Celebrate Vanilla Oak

All alcohol in the nose. Light amber color with a small head. Initial vanilla going into a slight alcohol burn and finishing with a imitation vanilla flavor that lasts with a slight amount of alcohol still coming though. Weak palate.

Too much vanilla flavor. Tastes kinda like cream soda. A little oak. some malt.

24oz bottle(2006)-A medium amber body with a nice medium head that dissipated into a small ring. Aroma of bourbon and alcohol with vanilla on the back end. Taste of vanilla and bourbon with the alcohol coming on the back end. Better than ’05 and a pretty decent brew from AB all considering. Now if they could brew beer like this all the time.

muddy amber, whispy beige head, bits of drippy lace, huge sweet vanilla aroma along with some sweet fruity malt, sweet malt flavor, lots of vanilla character, oak shows up in the finish and adds a bitter edge, gets tiresome quickly

(bottle - 24 oz: 2005 vintage) Cloudy copper color with not much of a head. Aroma is very sweet and sticky with lots of oak, vanilla, bubblegum, and some cookie dough. Lots of sweet malts. Overly sweet flavor with tons of vanilla, malts, plums, alcohol, bubble gum, and a ton of smoke flavor at the end. Very complex but way too sweet. Alcohol very present.

Cloudy brown color. No head and no visible carbonation. Vanilla and plum aroma, but no hops noticed. Medium palate with more carbonation than was seen from the glass. Definite vanilla bean and suble molasas flavor. No hops, no bitterness. A peat like flavor, unique like a beer blended with whisky or scotch. Very good. When the professionals at A-B are given the OK to show creativity and actually use some quality ingredients - they can deliver.

artillery shell from Gomers of Kansas. Pors a nice dark amber with vanishing head. Very vanilla on the nose. There is a lot of vanilla in the taste with a little oak in there as well. I can get a little sense of the alcohol after aged for 7 months in a cellar. This would be a nice one to drink during the next holiday season.

Bullet Bottle. Poured a clear amber in color with a white, fizzy, rapidly depleting head. Aroma is of all vanilla, with no beer or oak detected. When I tasted the beer, it was no suprise that it was almost the same. All vanilla. I drank this beer at near room temp. so this wasn’t such a bad thing, just not a good thing either.
