Style: Dopplebock (Doublebock)
Served in: Tulip Glass
Size: 330 ml
ABV: 6.7%
Appearance - Virtually black in color; a small, dark tan head dissipates quickly
Smell - Rich coffee and caramel malt notes with some toastyness and barley
Taste - As in the smell, the malt notes dominate with coffee, adding dark chocolate now. There is also toasted bread, smokey barley, some bitter fruit, and a hint of alcohol in the complex flavor scheme. The finish is exceptionally long.
Mouthfeel - Though clearly a full bodied beer, the Celebrator has a comfortable texture, a mix of chewy and smooth. Surprisingly drinkable, with more carbonation than I had expected.
Overall - This is one of, if not the best beer I have ever had. It has exceptional balance, unbelievable flavors, great texture, a cool logo... I could go on and on. The flavors exemplify the term 'rich,' a true 'meal in a glass' as the style has always been considered. This will be in my beer stash at all times, and is worth 97 points in my book- I don't believe any beer can every really be perfect, but the Celebrator comes about as close as you can!
