Poured a dark and clear brown. The head is thin from the start. The aroma is old cherries, ashtray and a little caramel. The taste has oak with some molasses. There is also a little bit of dry apple. The rather thin body helps this to stay refreshing. This could use a little more character, but isn’t bad.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 16/20
Super big fluffy head. Deep, blazing and hazy orange color. Smells lively and sweet with protruding caramel malts with a musky overtone. Some discernable traces of alcohol as well. Taste is deep and full-bodied, as doppelbocks should be. Metallic tinge to the taste - like quickly licking a flagpole. This tin-laden tinge eventually disappears in the last 1/3rd of the beer - not sure if I had gotten used to it or what, but that’s why I gave this a low rating in the "palate" category. A backend overtone that tastes somewhat like golden raisins. Other taste impressions: nutty and warming. As the drink goes down the pipes, you can really feel the warming alcohol presence recede into the chest - could be some serious competition for the defibrillator market. Aftertaste has a lasting, fiery spiciness. Overall, a good rendition of the doppelbock, principally because of the nice marriage of malts.

Plum color pour with no head, sweet taste and smell of fruits such as prunes or dates. The alcohol is present in the flavor and enters fill your nose on finish. Not my favorite style but very complex in flavor.

Im quite fond of most of shells brews, but this one is probably the worst beer to ever touch my mouth....absoutly horrible flavor
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
flute / similar aroma to schell’s caramel bock, but this is much more acceptable; more sweetness, caramel, and much less gym. opposed to the caramel bock, the body color is the same, but there are no bubbles. also, the head is not loud, rather, it is a quiet froth instead of only being slightly fizzy yet quite airy. ahhh... it tastes better than the caramel bock. the aftertaste is the same as the start, and all else. sweet, caramel, but subtle... what’s even more subtle is a touch of fruitiness in this brew. this is not bad at all! this is a Celebrator in its beta stage. not bad at all! i’d like to rate again with another sample so i can really dig my nose into this!

Clear chestnut brown. Finger of beige foam. Aroma of caramel, cookie dough, licorice, & fruit. Medium, syrupy feel. Moderately complex flavour of caramel, toffee, cookie dough, fruit (cherry?). Dry finish w/ an underlying hoppiness.

Great beer with an outstanding color and a fine airy head. The color of this beer is dark orange with a brilliant red shine. It has rich aroma’s of butter cakes, malts, rice crispy’s and quality vegetal hops = (green hoppyness). The taste is smooth and has hints of caramel, soft malts,candy sirup and fine dry hops. The afthertaste is dry and ends with a well balanced hoppyness.
