Ruddy brown with ruby notes and one finer of light tan head. Nose is rich and raisiny with lots of caramel and leather. Rich malt forward flavor with some burnt sugar and raisin, caramel and toasted grain in the background.

12oz bottle, poured into tulip, light frothing head, sweet caramel aroma, a bit of earthy grittiness to this one, this is a great little sipper, I would have loved a bit of hoppiness to balance it all out. But this is quite nice. I wouldn’t mind sipping on this all Winter long.

Pours very dark but with bright red reflections in the light. Smells sweet, rich and chocolatey. Tastes creamy-smooth with a bitter swallow and finish. Taste follows suit with the body although it tastes lighter than the beer looks and feels. Great winter ale, love the palate, would definitely drink it again!

Serving: 12 oz. bottle from Whole Foods Austin. The nose is powerful and fruity. There is a slight metallic note, a bit of apple and grape, and a nice malty undertone. It pours a clear, dark amber color with a large, frothy but sturdy light tan head. Great head retention and nice lacing. The flavor starts off malty but has a nice hop component to it. Sort of British with an American twist. Light pine notes and resin go with the bready and caramel malts. Nice contrasts here. Medium bodied with above average carbonation leading to a medium to long, slightly bitter finish. Nice brew!

I always look forward to Jubelale. This year’s release really hits the spot for me with a little spice. I’m not going to go overboard on the rating. There are plenty posts beneath mine. Bottom line, I like this beer.

Very dark amber pour with a big cream colored head. Aroma of caramel, milk, English hops and a leathery yeastiness. The flavor is a creamy sort of sweet with a touch of yeast and bitterness. Really smooth and creamy, and full bodied. Not much of a finish though. This is a good beer, but everything seems a little muted until you really let it warm up

12oz bottle.
Dark amber color with some off white head. Caramel and dark fruit aroma - some hop bitterness. Some spicyness and more dark fruit, hops aren’t as evident in the flavor. Very tasty and drinkable - a winter seasonal I look forward to every year.
