Jo en Vull Original 2013
Growler del grifo del VFC´13. Copa de Vino. Color marrón muy oscuro con tintes cobre oscuro a contraluz. Espuma de leve bronceado con corona fugaz, debido principalmente al growler. El perfil aromático despliega aromas de maltas caramelo y tostadas, trazos herbales, frutos oscuro – como ciruela y dátiles- con notas de chocolate. Al primer sorbo, sabor fresco de malta tostada. Cuerpo medio/pleno y carbonatación suave. Textura viscosa y paladar sedoso. Los sabores de caramelo y sutil herbáceo que afloran en el intermedio permanecen como un caramelo de regaliz en el prolongado final dulce/amargo. Retrogusto afrutado. El amargo es muy agradable, leve, pero presente. Astringencia suave y un gentil ABV que apenas se muestra como toque azucarado. Bien equilibrada y buena representante del Estilo !! Growler brought from VFC´13. Wine glass. Very dark brown color, deep copper tints to the light. Light tan froth & brief crown – mainly due growler. Aroma profile displays toasted & caramel malt, herbal hues, dark fruits – like plum & dats- & chocolate notes. Fresh toasted malt flavor at first sip. Medium to full body. Soft carbonation. Viscous texture & silky palate. Candies & subtle herbal bitterness in the middle linger as a licorice candy into a long sweet/bitter finish. Fruity aftertaste. Loving bitterness is slightly felt but present. Soft astringency & very kind ABV is shown as a sugary touch. Well balanced & nice spot of the Style!!

Jo en Vull Original.
Bottled@One Pint Pub, Helsinki (old backlog, thanks to Mankke & co for sharing.) Amber colour, small off-white creamy head. Aroma is toasted malts, some caramel malts, mild toffee and some berries. Flavour is berries, some caramel malts, toasted malts as well as some earthy notes. Balanced. I wonder if the 7 % is something theoretical, didn’t feel that big, even though it was quite well bodied.

Jo en Vull Original.
330ml bottle (One Pint Pub, Helsinki, Spanish Weeks 2011)
6 Slightly sharp, but some good roasted grains.
4 Slightly hazy rich caramel.
6 Slightly sour dark berry, some caramelly sweetness. Fairly full roast.
3 Full body, sweetish and a little sticky, lively carbonation. Finish quite husky and with earthy bitterness.
11 Very solid dunkel, shame about the sour aspects. Didn’t realise it was 7% when drinking it - it covers that pretty well.
