Jan 3, 2009 The aroma starts when opening, which is a great chocolate, molasses, and hops smell. The color is a nice and deep red with a small off white head. The flavor is just like all doppelbocks with a strong start and finish. It is a creamy chocolate, syrup, hop flavor with a little hint of liquorish and nutmeg. This is one of my favorites.

Jan 2, 2009 I buy a pint every time I get a mix and match six pack. Still at its best on draught, supremely drinkable.

Jan 1, 2009 nice taste for a Doppelbock which is not a favorite style for me. Heavy malty full and rich in flavor.

Dec 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a good looking clear red brown with a huge frothy light beige head. Aroma of vinegar, dark fruit, nuts and malts. Thinner body with strong carbonation. Flavor was nothing spectacular and was rather bland with some skunky notes over stale malts. Im still shocked that I found a ber at the parents house that I could actually rate.

Dec 24, 2008 1 pt. 9 oz. bottle. This has become a favorite of mine--buy a bottle whenever I buy a 6- or 12-pack of something else. High in alcohol content and it sometimes seeps through the big bold chewy flavors of the rich malt. My favorite German Doppelbock-sorry, but Celebrator is too sweet for me.

Dec 12, 2008 Pours a very dark brown-amber, with a quickly diminishing head. No lacing. Aroma is of pit fruits and chocolate. Heavy malt profile, slightly sweet raisin, a bit of yeast, and some slight alcohol. Palate is a bit thin, but probably consistent with the style. Overall a very drinkable Doppelbock.

Dec 9, 2008 Dark cherry color, compact vanilla white head.
Aromas of rich milk chocolate, honey, cream, and carmel. Doughy malt character, floral freshness. Some molasses, nuts, and raisin.
Flavor is mild toasted malt, some fruit and nuts, and has enough hops to put it not to far on the sweet side. Molasses, coffee, raisin.
Palate is very smooth textured, and has little carb, which I appreciate.

Dec 7, 2008 Pours a deep mahogany red with a creamy tan head mostly dissapating. Nose is chocolate, molasses and malt. Very creamy on the palate. Malt dominates flavor with subtones of molasses and black cherries. Finish is slightly sweet with a hint of hops. This doppelbock has a full bodied flavor that will stand up to most any meal, including brats, burgers or gyros. A true German original, often imitated, but never duplicated.
