Altenmünster Jubelbier Dunkel Spezial (Jubel)

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

Bottle with the name Jubel from Keg Liqour. Poured dark brown with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with fair lacing. Medium malty aroma. Medium body. Medium dark bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of average duration.

ineresting dark color with that sharp bitterness i’m getting used to but this also has a touch of that malty taste that I like.

Murky brown with a slight red tinge. Medium sized frothy head that blobbed away like a cooking pancake, falling to a thin layer with generous lacing. Fairly one dimensional malt aroma, with a bit of metal in there too. Nice balance to the flavour without showing too much. A little on the thin side, but with a bit of chew. A pleasing caramelly aftertaste fills the mouth for a short time post swallowing. An above average beer without being anything spectacular.

From a 1 pt. swing top, nice looking brown bottle with a handle, no bottled/freshness date. Poured a chocolate brown with a foamy off-white/beige head that settled into a thin lacing. Aromas of a sweet chocolate caramel toffee swirl, a light fruitiness and a touch of all spice. Smooth, even carbonation and a crisp, creamy smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant malty taste, sweet chocolate mixed with a caramel toffee, hints of coffee, a rye spiciness, a molasses sugariness, a subtle light fruitiness, the hops provide a very soft tea bitterness and a dryish sweet malty finish, easy, quaffable, good drinkability. I didn’t know what to expect from this when I saw it on the shelves, but this was a good pick up, made me feel good that I took a chance on a unknown.

nice bottle with flip top and handle. poured a brown similar to medium cherry cabinets. nose of maple syrup with hints of smoke. sweet taste to start with some toasted barley, finishing with smoky, dark chocolate and hints of that maple syrup coming through. nice tan head remained throughout. glad i picked up the retired bottle.

Hot handle flip top bottle, with a hazy dark mahogany hue, with a frothy tan-colored head, with some reddish highlights, sweet maltiness grainy nose, with toasted malt, hint of molasses, with notes of prunes, raisins, dates fruitiness, with a spicy touch in the aroma follows through on a full-bodied palate, with a yeasty caramelized malt and roasted malt character, notes of winey fruitiness of dates, raisins, plums, with a chocolatey accent, and a nutmeg spiciness, leading towards a sweet cookieish, and malty, faint hop bittering finish.

brown with a small off white head. malty caramel and brown sugar aroma.very sweet and caramelish. burnt toffee and roasted nuts. pleasant fruity finish. i thought this was a very good dunkel.
