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

Tastes of coffee grounds and dark malt. Underlying sweetness balanced by a sharp bitterness. Similar to a porter without as much heavy feeling or bite on the back end. Not horrible but I am not much of a fan.

It’s a nice looking beer with a deep burgundy color and a foamy head that dissipates quickly. Not much of a nose to it, but that may just be me. It has a satisfying creamy, full-bodied texture. While it has a nice warming feel to it, it is not the most flavorful beer I’ve had. Hints of raisin and malt, but for the most part there’s not much to it. Good, but not great.

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours a dark red clear color. Off white head. Aromas of carmel and malt. Sweet malts dominate throughout finishing with a sweet bourbon like taste. The underlying warming alcohol is detectable which surprises me that this is only 6.7%.

Poured into my deschutes Tulip glass. Dark color, nice head and lacing. Aroma is malty, but not very proliferate. Flavor is good though. Good bitterness and malt balance . Overall a decent winter warmer, though I believe there is better out there. Finishes dry.

arminjewell (2445) - Parker, Colorado, USA - OCT 11, 2011
Pours dark reddish almost brown with off white head, aroma has notes of toffee, some earthy notes, touch of minerals in there as well, with a touch of grass. Taste is lots of sweet toffee, slight hint of cocoa, lots of spice, hints of grass, biscuit, pine, touch of molasses, finishes bitter and dry. Nice brew, very rich but tasty!

Impressive beer from Deschutes! Pours a dark brown, with tons of thick head that lasts, and sticks to the side of the glass--a good sign. Wonderful aroma from this one, a mix of roasted malt and hops--very nice. Taste is surprisingly complex, with lots of hop standing out, but yet not overly skewed to the bitter side. Nice fully satisfying palate. Good beer--a gem. I need to stock up.

Brownish color with tan head. Decently malty with a fairly hoppy and earthy character. On tap GABF ’11
