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.

from bottle. Settles in glass a dark brown with a tan head that dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma of chocolate and caramel malts, barley, molasses, and dates. Very nice. Flavor of sweets and smokiness, I tasted chocolate, burnt crème brulee, roasts, dark fruit, bread and malt. Delicious and complex. Palate is just so smooth and creamy! Tastes like a rich dessert in a bottle. Certainly one of the best tasting beers I’ve had.

[Bottle] Poured a clear deep mahogany with a finger of tan head. Aroma is strong with malt, a little bit of soy sauce, and a hint of hops. Flavor is extremely rich and just fills your mouth with flavor. Tons of malt that gives it the nice dark fruit flavor as well as lots of caramel and toffee. Just a hint of bitterness on the back end. Awesome.

Very deep brown, almost opaque, with decent sized tan head. Amazing aroma of malted fruit and spice. Taste is dominated by malts and bitter spice, tingle remains through the aftertaste. A great experience, but not the ideal taste for me.

12oz. bottle. Wow..this is one seriously nice beer. Pours an almost black ruby red, with a lively but quickly dissapating head. The nose is sweet and yeasty, with hints of fruit and caramel. The dark malts hit the tongue first, giving way to a wonderfully balanced and complex mix of flavors, swirling all around your taste buds.. Finishes clean and dry, with the roasted malt lingering on. One of the great beers of the world.

Nice aroma of caramel malts, and some dark fruit. Attractive appearance of dark brown/red, persistent tan head. The flavor is malty/sweet, with some slight hoppiness, and carbonation very noticeable. The flavor wasn’t as remarkable as I had expected. Some malty sweetness lingers on the palate, as do some hops. Excellent beer overall.

Bottle, the aroma is of incredible caramel with a bit of malt scent. The taste is malt, malt and more malt and it is absolutely delicious. Amazing terrific beer, would buy again immediately

Bottle at Le Sous-Bock, Paris. Very dark brown with a healthy tan head. Molasses, nuts and dried fruits aroma. Flavours blend chocolate and nuts together with roasted malts. Rich and heavy. Well-balanced. Full-bodied, quite soft. Worth a celebration.
