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.

This was a great Doppelbock. Thick and malty, slightly sweet very well blended. Absolutely no lingering flavors.

Had the feeling this beer would be overrated... but nope, it’s a tasty one. Darker pour than the picture lets on. Dark brown pour with creamy tan head. Slightly roasty very malty flavor. Very concentrated biscuit, toffee, caramel, and molasses. Yum. A bit of cocoa and a nuttiness that’s not overwhelming. I will drink more of these, I’m sure.

I will only drink this again if Schneider Aventinus, Weizen-Bock, and Brooklyn-Schneider Hopf-Weiss are all discontinued. This is a watery bock, only slightly more flavorful than Michelobe Amber Bock. All the elements are there: the roast, the caramel malt, the almonds - they are just timid compared to the aforementioned beers. I cannot go back.

Pours a deep brown with a ruby tint when you hold it to the light. Heavy molasses in the nose that continues into the flavor, which tastes almost like a stack of pancakes dusted with hazelnuts. Very tasty.

Draught. Pours dark brown with reddish highlights and a creamy tan head. Aroma is breadcrust, slightly roasty malt. Taste is clean but rich - breadcrust and cocoa, a hint of dark fruit, and a slightly nutty roastiness that grows and dries out slightly on the finish. Mouthfeel is light but velvety. Very nice beer.
