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.

I would give this a perfect score but I know it could be better in a few minute ways. Either way, it’s dark, complex, and drinks like a classy stout.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small cream colored head. Super malty aroma, reminiscent of wort on brewday, hints of dry dogfood. Flavor is extremely malty with an almost salty taste, a touch sweet. Medium mouthfeel, quite smooth.

As for a doppelbock... this one is the cream of the crop. First of all it is sooo smooth. Rare in a db. The aging has to be the trick. Very balanced in character. The commercial description says it all realy.

Dark, Dark carmel with a creamy light tan head. Very malty and molasses nose. Flavor is a burst of aching nostalgia for me, remembering the dark, sweat, home made bread my grandma made on our North Dakota farm. Great lingering finish.

9oct08: 12 oz bottle
Rich malty aromas - melanoidins, toasty, bready, slight hints of molasses
Dark brown, clear, ruby highlights. Tan head with light retention
Rich malty sweetness with bready, toasty notes. A bit of bitterness to support the long malty finish
Medium body, medium-high carbonation, prickly
Nice doppelbock, the molasses seems out of place as does the prickly carbonation
