Commercial Description:
Jubelale is classified as a "Strong Ale" or an "English Olde Ale," and has ties to the traditional Celebration Ales of England. Characterized by a very large malt body and pronounced bitterness, Jubelale contains five different varieties of hops and a healthy amount of caramel. The perfect ale for surviving the long, cold nights of winter. Our tradition is having a different local artist design our Jubelale label & packaging each year. October - December - draft and bottles

Bottle, 2005 edition. Deep, stained mahogany in color with ruby highlights showing through, clear. Tannish head forms and fades to a ring leaving pretty nice lacing behind. Aroma is malty and hop balanced nicely. Caramel, toffee, slight nutty aromas blend with light earthy hops. Lighter medium bodied. Tends to feel thin in the mouth. Caramel flavors with some nuts and then a very generous hop bitterness, not overwhelming. Decently done, probably better when consumed warmed.

2006 bottle Oct. 06. Ultraclear, garnet colored when backlit, brownish under normal light. Nice tannish head that fades a touch too quickly. Decent lacing. Chocolate and nutty aroma, medium bodied. Smooth chocolate flavor with some vanilla, suprisingly strong hop presence, lasting bitterness. Quite tasty this year! 8/3/8/4/16

2005 is out and ready to drink. This is a great beer. Dark reddish brown color with a huge head and a great overall aroma. The hint of smokyness with a light hopps flavor and a huge malt presence make this a great winter warmer. I will be getting more for the deep winter months.

Bottle poured a dark red amber with a huge thick brownish head. Rich, sweet malt aroma. Flavor is malt and hops, light smoke, chocolate with a light bitter malt finish.

Malty sweet and caramel aromas. Body held to light had a ruby red color to it. Foamy tan head that was decent but disipated. Left good lacing on the glass. Sweet and spicy malts with a good hop balance. Smooth and warm on palate. An enjoyable beer.

On cask at Humpy’s Alaskan Ale House in Anchorage 7/6/05: Dark crimson with a heavy pine sap flavor. Heavy alcohol. It was way too warm in Anchorage for this one, but it is a decent winter beer.

Couleur presque rubis, mousse blanche concassée adhérant bien à la paroi du verre. Arômes plutôt complexe et d’un bel équilibre affichant malt chocolat, foin, feuille de laurier jumelé à quelques notes de raisins bleus et à une touche boisée. Corps plutôt mince, faible carbonatation semblant plutôt effacé du portrait. Un peu plus de corps serait certainement approprié.

Sweet, grapey, spicy, marzipan aroma with some earthy, woody and roasty notes. Hazy reddish-brown with decent off-white head that recedes to ring and partial cover with some lace. Chocolate and brown malt flavours with some mild bitterness and some berry-like fruits. Medium body with low carbonation. Bottle (Secret Santa, Dec. 2004) enjoyed with MartinT, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere. Thanks, Tchrome!

The Lure:
Roasted malts and earthy chocolate combine in a mild but interesting aroma. Cherry fruitiness thrives within, there are some good ingredients in here.

The Festivities:
Roasted malt bitterness is immediately felt, accompanied by berries and grapes. An ample body of chocolate and caramel malts leeks onto a bed of ashes or burnt pie crust.

Transcendence:
Hearty cooking will always get me.
