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.

330ml bottle. Very dark brown, with medium beige head. Toasty, sweet malt and raisin on aroma. Taste of ryebread, Mämmi, dried plum and roast. Medium bodied, soft carb and low bitterness. Very pleasant on every way!

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2013 Nov 2012 - I like this beer. Subtle but distinct and complex flavours - bit sour, bit liquorice, bit roasted barley, bit smokey, bit butter. No flavour overpowers, all play a part, alcohol is well hidden. Every mouthful gives a slightly different flavour profile. Enjoyable. Would have again. ************* May 2013 - Bottle into tulip. Dark red/brown with a big white enduring head. Liquorice, malt, lager smell. Taste is yeasty, semi-sweet, bit of liquorice, smoke. A little sharp towards the end. Raisin finish.

on tap Dark brown to black with a ruby irredescence this Doppelbock presents itself quite elegantly. The head was quite fizzy and fleeting, though. The scent is of raisin and molasses, sweet and dry. Theres a Hint of malt in the back but the molasses wins out. This is smooth on the tongue, smoky sweet and dry. There’s a nice burnt malt flavor but offset by a sweet prune or raisin. The burnt blends well with the sweet and creates a tasty well balanced bock.

Delicious. Refreshing, yet meaty. Not sweet or heavy, well balanced. Slight booziness on the finish.

drdisque (379) - Illinois, USA - MAR 7, 2013
On tap at the map room. Pours dark rust with creamy head. Slightly malty aroma. Flavor is clean and malt forward with a hint of tangy milk chocolate. Lingering sweet finish. Quite good.

Scopey (3246) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAR 2, 2013
Bottle at The Hope. It pours very dark brown with a small light tan head. The nose is smooth.... caramel, earth, wood, leather and cocoa powder. The taste is earth, caramel, wood, light spice, plain chocolate, brown sugar, leather, alcohol warmth, dark fruit, raisin and candy with a dry, leathery finish. Medium-full body and fine carbonation. Smooth, well-balanced and very drinkable.

JohnRMurdoch (2257) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - MAR 1, 2013
330ml bottle from Hippo Beers. Very dark brown with a big beige foamy head. Grassy malt aroma. Sweet toffee malt flavour. Oily texture but a bit rough on palate. Not really my sort of beer.

elosop (67) - SWEDEN - MAR 1, 2013
Mörkare än vad jag trodde, mkt maltig, sirapslik smak. Ngn beska i eftersmaken. Guiness gör d bättre, men inte alls illa. Kanske lite för krävande dock.

This was my first good beer, and as such, it holds a special place. Dark brown pour with light tan head. Aroma is caramel and raisin. Taste adds molasas and a little bitterness. Yes, there are some better beers, but this one convinced me to try them and it is still world class.

Torrefacto (62) - - FEB 28, 2013
De color rojo muy oscuro, bien carbonatada y espuma de color beige poco duradera. Su aroma a malta tostada y azúcar moreno es, sin embargo, demasiado leve. El sabor nuevamente nos trae al paladar sabores tostados y azucarados, pero sin los trazos alcohólicos propios de este estilo. Es además una cerveza muy ligera, agradable y fácil de beber. Desde luego en su estilo es de lo mejorcito que he probado y su relación calidad/precio es inmejorable.
