The smell kinda reminds me of avery’s smael’s. Has a very sweet but strong vanilla flavor to it that really lingers... Say’s it’s 10% abv, but you don’t taste it... Actually it taste kinda thin. I expected a little more thickness after smelling it. all in all this beer is different. don’t know that I would buy this again. but might drink again if given to me! lol Cheers! kreepindeth (405), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 7, 2006 Michelob Celebrate Vanilla Oak
Bullet bottle (750 ml)
Recent bottling, celebrated 12/06
Moderate pour into accompanying tulip glasses.
Poured a clear dark amber with an average mostly diminishing head.
Smelt of strong fake vanilla extract and faint bourbon.
Taste was upfront strong sweet imitation vanilla followed by more sweet fake ’nilla, although more subdued and a light grain and bourbon oak bitterness. Palate was medium light to medium bodied, creamy, lively carbonated, lightly alcoholic.
Overall, a sweet vanilla beer. Too sweet. It covers up any other taste that could be found, although I doubt there is much to uncover underneath. Bourbon oak taste seemed more present last year. cewldre (268), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Mar 9, 2006 What a terrible terrible beer. Simply Awful. And to think, I was really looking forward to it, I thought it would be grand. Dead wrong. The vanilla does not compliment the rest of the beer at all. Every taste conflicted with itself.
