Nov 11, 2007 Much better than other "winter warmers" I’ve had this year. Strong malt taste. Hops. When English "strong ales" are rich in flavor like American strong ales (but without the heavy taste), then we get something like this one. A very good beer.

Nov 11, 2007 Pours mahogany with a great looking tan head. Aroma is caramel, malt, hint of toastiness, plum and mild spiciness. Flavor is sweet, decent amount of fruits and malt, giving way to more hints of bitter and spice. It’s pretty well balanced for a winter ale. It’s not crazy, radical or shocking. It’s just a great winter ale. I’d definitely purchase this again.

Nov 2, 2007 bottle. i once knew a Jubel Cain. now i’ve known a jubelale. maroon brown body with a nice lasting head. sugary caramel nose with lots of plum and raisin, a bit bready. tin slightly tart sweet flavor, marshmallow, red grape. damn this washes down a burrito well. grahame cracker note that’s nice. something slightly burnt in the finish. flat cherry dirtiness finishes. a good old ale.

Oct 30, 2007 Pours almost as dark as a porter with a 2-finger tan head. Slight lacing. Smells of malt, caramel, alcohol and maybe a hint of stone fruit. Flavor is coffee, caramel, then a hoppy dry finish. Nice medium-full body with soft carbonation. Best winter ale this side of Grand Carolus Noel that I’ve tried

Oct 24, 2007 Pours a clear rose color with a tan head. The aroma is a malty caramel sweetness with a touch of spice. It tastes incredible. Sweet and spicy, very well balanced. Good medium body. Great beer. I wish I could get it every time of year.
