One thing about these German beers is they can make some interesting labels. As I recall from Vienna, the bock beer has a connection with Easter and spring, so here's Celebrator Doppelbock.

It's a nice dark color but with some reddish highlights in it. The head is off-white, contrasting nicely, and resistant. It has that appetizing creamy, earthy dark beer smell, and the taste doesn't disappoint. It's rather subdued, with no particular note making itself more noticeable. It doesn't have any of those experimental ingredients like chocolate or jalapeños, but there is a covering of sweetness on it. It's smooth and goes down easy, perhaps dangerously so, without any odd lingering aftertaste. It does feel quite nice for a rainy Easter time, not too sweet, but maybe good to go with a Cadbury egg or two.
