330ml bottle in 2013. Deep brown with a beige head. Very nice roasty and herbal aroma with some good coffee and bready malt flavours.
Woody, slightly herbal, notes of treacle, orange, ginger, and molasses. A bit sharp in places.
Draft. Pours amber with a beige head. Toasted malts, a little fruitiness, and mild-moderate sweetness. Pretty good.
I have appreciated Deschutes as a brewery as long as I have got serious about rating beers. A picked up a single bottle at the nearby craft beer shop late last fall. This one is going into my ABGB tulip glass in which I determine a dark mahogany body completed by a heathy top of finely-bubbled, medium tan foam. The scent is dark fruit, grain and forest. Yeah, really. And now a sip, woody, a bit of cherry, malt, fairly bitter. Decent, a sipper for sure, not inspirational.
Bottle at home. Pours hazy amber brown. Aroma is sweet and bread-y. Flavor opens with slightly sharp bite of winter spice, developing into some sweet malt, finishing with a little harsh, resin-y hop bitterness. Medium body. Somewhat warming. A pleasing beer, but the finish is somewhat discordant and takes away from the overall experience.
Elongated, Brit-style longneck. Artsy label. Immense, peachy-khaki spray insulation head over a deep ruby-black pour. Sweet, yeasty, aley, pruney, je ne sais quois aroma. Fairly acidic, aley, parboiled plums, toasted sugars, tannic. Fence line, volunteer plums (sloes but not blackthorn) overtones. Quite tasty. Harris Teeter, Boone, NC. New Year's Trip, 2019.
Nice winter beer... A brown beer with some seasonal spice and toffee. Not complicated but enjoyable.
Malty spiced aroma, pours brown with a tan head. Tastes malty up front with a strong hop bite and a brown ale like finish. Palate is nice and smooth. Good, I bet it would be really good aged.
12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep ruby red color with an off white, finger thick head that gradually settles to a film leaving some lacing. Aroma is of sweet malt, toasted malt, a little dried fruit and some toffee. Flavor is of toasted malt with some bittering hops coming through after the swallow. Not bad.
Dark amber with a big beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, toffee and a little hops.Long dry and hoppy finish.
Bottle from a branch of Total Wine in Sterling, Virginia. Deep brown in colour, with moderate carbonation and rocky, off-white, head. Light, leafy hops, rich and bready, and also slightly toasty malts, red berry sweetness, some winter spice and some chocolate richness before a lingering, boozy finish. Very good.
Have had this beer almost every year since they have been brewing it. Really nice seasonal ale, warming and malty with a nice hop blend and slight sweetness

Safe house this. Rich for 6.7%, slightly funky & bitter toffee malts, bit part German, bit part English. Really quite a bit happening.
Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle best before May 4 2018 poured into a glass. Clear medium brown with crimson highlights and small beige head. Aroma is caramel, medium body, low carbonation, and some small bubble lacing. Taste is caramel, earthy, and spice.
Wood nose. Clear chestnut, thin head. Wormwood, bark, maple syrup, a touch of DMS. Light to medium body.
Dark amber with red hues and an off white head. Malty rich, biscuity, toffee and herbal.
Pours a burnt mahogany color into a shaker pint, with a decent head and minute carbonation. Aroma of chestnuts and chocolate milkshake. Taste is supremely malty and rich, notes of Arabic coffee bean and nutmeg spice. Finish is long creamy like s’mores. This Winter warmer represents the best of British style pub beers, but with much more depth and nuance. Another ball hit out of the Park by a great brewery.... cheers Deschutes!
Poured into standard pub pint glass. Pretty average amber color with standard duty head. Nutty and sweet, good winter beer!
Mahogany in color with a foamy white head. Raisin and molasses taste with a bit of mulled spices added in. Lots of flavor, but still smooth and drinkable especially for a Christmas ale.
Poured up a dark mahogany color, with a thick tan head. Aroma is complex and includes bread pudding, spices, prunes, with toffee. Taste follows suit, with dark fruits and lots of malts. Nice balance between hops and toasted malts. Mild spice finish. Medium body. A classic winter sipper, one of my new favorites.
Deschutes lays down a mother of a winter beer here, with a malty nose featuring dark fruit and leathery notes alongside a piney hop presence. Multi-layered and complex, Jubelale uses winter spices in a rather subtle way, melding them artfully with the base beer. Fullbodied with a mild warming presence as it fades. Thus is the taste if holiday bliss.
Pours a dark red/amber color. Herbal aromas. Earthy and caramel taste. Really lingers on the palate
Draft 16 oz pour in the Stadium Brewery, Aliso Viejo. Dark bodied, brown with a red hue, beige head. Semi-sweet with plenty of malty goodness throughout. Both fruity and earthy below the malty molasses.
Seasonal. Powerful malt flavor. Not my style.
12 oz bottle poured into chilled pint glass. Ring in the holidays with this seasonal offering from the great Deschutes Brewery in Bend, OR. I always look forward to buying a six-pack from Trader Joe's or 12-pack from Safeway at this time of year. Not your every day beer, but packed with ample malt, carmel, and spice flavors that are well-balanced with top-quality hops. A classic winter warmer from a legendary American craft brewery.
Pours a deep brown with a tan head. aroma of fig and hardwood. Taste is woody and nutty. Earthy bitterness keeps it from going overly sweet. Pleasant. Thicker mouthfeel.
Draught @ Zeezicht. Opaque murky red brown color, medium sized beige head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma is malts, light hints of red fruit, sweet red currant, brown malts and caramel malts. Taste malts, caramel, dark malts, dark fruits, sweet raisins and blue grapes with a strong malt bitter finish. Decent to medium body and carbonation. Quite nice.
Pours dark with a creamy head and minimal aroma. Taste is of chocolate and cherries. Mildly silky mouth feel with a slightly bitter spruce-tip finish.
Pours dark brown with a white head holiday aroma nutmeg/eggnog? Syrupy taste with not much bitterness. Nice winter beer.
