Altenmünster Jubelbier Dunkel Spezial (Jubel)

Brewed by Allgäuer Brauhaus (Oetker Group)
Style: Dunkel
Kempten, Germany

500ml flip top bottle. A cola brown body, clear with a sudsy off-white head with zero retention. Aroma is sweet, with a subtle roasted note and damp grain. Flavor is a bland mix of malt, wet paper, earthy hops and light caramel. Forgettable.

16oz ceramic bottle 5/00-Pours a dak amber with a decent head. Aroma of caramel, toffee, and roasted malt. Taste of the same with some more sweetness coming through. This medium bodied brew is a nice tasting Dunkel.

11/10/2007: Privatbrauerei Franz Joseph Jubel pours out in a murky brown stream with a fizzy and quickly dissipating beige-colored head. The aroma has caramel, hints of chocolate, and slightly oxidized fruit that is actually quite inviting. The fruity flavor has a date and malt sweetness at first along with traces of milk chocolate (think YooHoo) and caramel. There is a mild, balancing bitterness in the finish to the malty and earthy flavors. There is also some apple-like characteristic in the difficult to describe flavor, but it is mostly lots of sweet, rich, lasting caramelized maltiness along with some chocolate. This medium-bodied beer is smoft and smooth on the palate.

16 fl. oz. flip-top bottle with handle shared by Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #138 for this beer.

Crushed with Jakebra. Took long enough to find this one. Couldnt read the damn label. Anyway...to the beer. Very sweet, molasses nose. Reminded me of a J.W. Lees barley wine. Flavor is different, wicked complex, sweet malts, but gets a little unpleasantly sour in the finish. Overall, a interesting experience, but not as good as hoped.

My bottle looks a lot different than the picture, but this is the name of the beer. Cool little bottle with a handle, unique looking. Pours a burgundy beiege color,with a light amount of fruit and a hint of spice in the nose. The flavor is not overly rich but quite malty, with a somewhat chewy caramel and toffee. Light, but not underbodied, and very drinkable.

Quite a stunning flip top bottle honestly and served in my NB worthy glass: A deep russet hue with a fading frothy off-white head and okay lace. The aroma has notes of caramel and nutty malts, some dark bread, a hint of dry apple and anise. The taste pretty much follows suit with sweet bready malt, a hint of fruity twang and some light-handed rye-like spice upon the finish. The mouth feel is soft and smooth, refreshing actually. A good bier and above average for the genre.

Off notes 1/2007. Pours a near opaque ruby brown with a tan head. Nose is brown sugar with a bit of licorice and malt on there too. Flavor has some good depth to it, but is a tad bit watery on the end I think. Feel is a bit thin and carbonation is low. Overall it is a pretty drinkable brew. Not the greatest marzen ever, but pretty nice. Worth trying. And it comes in such a nice bottle too. :-)
