Avery Old Jubilation Ale

Avery Old Jubilation Ale

Our winter ale has a gorgeous mahogany hue, a hint of hazelnuts, and a finish reminiscent of mocha and toffee. No spices, just a perfect blend of five specialty malts. Cellarable for 3+ years.

3.3 Flaska från Hopt.se. Mahognyfärgad klar vätska med lågt krämigt skum. Malttung söt doft och smak med torkad frukt, fruktkaka, sirap, fudge, värmande alkohol. Fin doft men smaken är mest söt och platt. Ok+
0.0 Clean and really true to traditional style. Somewhat barleywine like. Stranded pilgrim denver
4.2 Exquisita cerveza oscura con poco cuerpo y poca espuma. Sabor a regaliz, caramelo o incluso chocolate pero no resulta empalagosa. Parece un postre del que pide repetir sin duda. Se puede beber aún no siendo jubilado.
3.5 12oz bottle from a shop in Boston and drunk on 27/03/2008. A strong flavour with slight yeast extract note and nice gentle hop bitterness.
3.7 Dark ruby pour. Malty, bready, toffee and a hint of hazelnuts. Very nice winter warmer!
4.0 Colore tonaca di frate piuttosto velata, versa un dito di schiuma che svanisce velocemente. Aroma di caramello, spezie e frutti scuri. In bocca emergono note di malto tostato, spezie, caramello e una leggera nota vinosa. Piuttosto complessa e ben bilanciata.
4.5 Super maltosa. Cacao, café, caramelo, toffe. Destaca su final seco y amargo que le restan dulzor y evitan que sea empalagosa, lo que favorece otro trago rápido. Un cervezón muy bien diseñado y desarrollado. Podría parecer una belgian strong ale pero con poco gas y final americano, levadura limpia.
3.8 35,5cl Bottle @ Saveur-Biere, Fretin, France. Dark brown colour with a thin tan head. Aroma is toasted malt, sweet, dried fruits. Taste is toasted malt, caramel, prunes, toffee, nuts. Medium body, average carbonation.
4.1 Couleur noire caramel, assez opaque, très faible carbonation Nez gourmand aux senteurs de réglisse, miel En bouche, c'est un nectar, c'est même très surprenant car il n'y a quasiment aucune attaque et les arômes sont tout de suite très marqués : pruneaux, épices, caramel et toffee, réglisse, miel, légèrement torréfiée, cerise Légèrement gazeuse en bouche, à la manière du champagne, cette strong ale est tout simplement admirable, un beau nectar fin, rond et très bien équilibré, à déguster avec un bon plat en sauce pour bénéficier de toute la richesse en bouche Bravo Avery Brewing Compagny
3.9 Botella de 35,5 cl. Color marrón oscuro con espuma escasa, carbonatación baja. Aroma a caramelo, frutos secos, toffe. Sabor a avellanas, caramelo, toffe, ciruelas, nueces. Cuerpo medio, un poco dulce y también seca al final, sabrosa, muy rica, gran english strong ale.
3.5 355 ml bottle @ home, served in a tulip glass, due date: unknown. Aroma: quite powerful aromas of toasted malts, caramel malts, toffee, caramel, brown sugar, burnt brown sugar, hints of dark dried fruits, like prunes or plums. Apperance: brown with copper overtones, very creamy light beige head made of medium sized bubbles, with medium thickness, high retention and low to medium Brusels' lacing. Low to medium haziness. Taste: medium to high sweetness, low to medium bitterness, low sourness. Flavors of toasted malts, caramel malts, caramel, dark dried fruits, prunes, plums, burnt sugar, brown sugar, burnt caramel, toffee, nuts. Balance is on the sweet side but it's not cloying. Mouthfeel: medium body, oily to velvety texture, low carbonation, very long bittersweet finish with low to medium bitterness and medium sweetness and the same aforementioned flavors. Alcohol is noticeable because of its mouth and throat warming. Astringency is low but slightly noticeable. Overall: good appearance, quite powerful aromas and flavors of caramel, toffee, toasted and caramel malts, dark dried fruits, nuts, brown sugar, burnt sugar, burnt caramel. Not my favorite style but good and well brewed beer, good sipper to enjoy slowly. A lot of complexity and layers of flavors.

3.6 Bottiglia. All'olfatto si esprimono sentori di fruttato e di sottobosco. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e la maniera in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore del liquido è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato. Il dolce è medio in buon equilibrio con l'amaro medio. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il finale è setoso, pulito e complesso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di caramello, miele, cioccolato, liquirizia, frutta secca, arrostito e agrumi.
4.0 Flesje gedeeld door Tomhendriksen. Donker brui bier, flink schuimend tijdens inschenken maar het trekt snel weg. Aroma en smaak is zoet en fruitig. In de nasmaak komt de toffee maar boven. Smaak blijft lekker lang hangen.
3.5 Fles gedeelt met Inoven. Het is een troebel donkerbruin bier met een volle schuimkraag welke snel weg ebt. Het heeft een geur van gedroogd fruit. De smaak is moutig en fruitig zoet met wat toffee achtige nasmaak.
3.3 35.5cl fles. Helder donker robijnrood van kleur, fijne romige creme schuimkraag. De geur is karamel en rood fruit. Smaak is zoet, karamel, zoethout en fruit. Medium lichaam, veel koolzuur.
3.0 Donker bruine ale met een licht karamel kleurige schuimkraag. Smaakt naar chocolade, karamel, toffe en donker graan. (Beery christmas 2018)
4.5 (nez alléchant fruit red (> fraise), bouche idem (onctuo-lisse), ~cara (sucre), nice-amère, douceur naturelle, très joli !)

4.0 Note di noci e liquirizia. Dolce ma decisa. Colore caramello
4.3 De Hopt. En copa Teku. Viendo Westworld 1x04. Sabor acaramelado, como a gominola, y especiado. Recuerdos navideños. Aunque etiqueta dice que no lleva especias, nadie lo diria. Buen feel
4.0 Buena consistencia y cuerpo. Agradable al paladar.
4.5 Beery Christmas 2018. Watery aftertaste but very nice aroma and palate
3.1 Bottle from Saveur bière.com. Amber color, white head. Malts, spices, imperial lager kind of aroma. Not my thing
3.9 Beery Christmas #24. Pours brown with some short-lived head. Aroma is very malty, with all the speciality malts shining. Lots of nuttiness and biscuity aromas, hints of chocolate. Medium to big body. Flavour is again dominated by malts. Really nutty and biscuity with some spice hints. Obviously not as spicy as with the actual addition of spices, but just being 5 malts very balanced and tasty and layered. Long nutty and slightly warming finish. Really nice winter strong ale, perfect style-wise.
3.7 Color marrón muy oscuro, casi negro, con destellos granates, translúcida. Espuma beige amarillento, escasa y efímera. Aroma vinoso, especiado y chocolate, como un bombón de licor. Sabor a maltas tostadas, caramelo, frutas negras, higos, dátiles, miel, maravillosa. Textura acuosa. Carbonatación baja.
3.2 Bouteille 33 cl - couleur brune, mousse beige, odeur de caramel, goût torrifié, caramel dur, café, amére, bonne mais pas fan
