Altenmünster Jubelbier Dunkel Spezial (Jubel)

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

Deep rich brown and red, fizzy kahki head. Sugar, malt, spice, toasty, bit of dark bread. Flavors of caramel, molasses, toast, and even a hint of fig. Lighter side of medium bodied, balanced finish. Not bad at all...

Clear chestnut body topped by big beige head. Aroma is sweet, caramel, molasses, plum, some spice. Taste is fairly sweet, caramel, herbal, some burnt/roasty, finishing spice, herbal and faintly astringent. Light-medium body with some stickiness.

Dark amber with some reddish tint, good but fading head. Fruity caramel aroma, an almost sugary sweetness on the molasses at the end of the nose. Tang of sourness too. Flavor is strongly of almost burnt caramel, molasses, and a touch of dark fruit. Just enough hops to provide a hint of bitterness. Nice beer, but over the years I've grown less and less fond of this style.

Pours a rich brown with a small tan head. Strong malt and caramel laden aroma.Very pleasant. The taste is also strong chewy malt. More caramel, and perhaps a hint of brown sugar. Very faint hop character. It seems almost non-existent. The finish is sweetened malt and perhaps a hint of fruit. Surprisingly good beer, as I didn't have high expectations for this.

Immediately open pop-up this beer open I smelled its wondrous, full aroma. As I and my friend punkeedo partook it was like a German party [Fest] in our mouth with every drink [jeder Schluck]. The flavour is outstanding and the palate intriguingly complicated. I got this beer for right about $4 a bottle - really not that bad considering what you pay for other lesser beers when you go out to trendy places. The commercial description on the bottle is really apt - Every drink a party [Jeder Schluck ein Fest]. Outstanding. Try it.

Nice, subtle aroma--definitely not let down by the taste. Full bodied and satisfying. Two would probably be a perfect number with Juebel. Very cool bottle--worth keeping for the shelf. Strong, as far as alcohol concentration goes, but it's definitely a treat. Excellent beer...highly recommended...***On a second go-round, this beer was still very stout, but the alcohol kick didn't seem as bad. This beer should be drunk at room temperature. I found it more enjoyable, drinking from the bottle, and I actually think it tastes better that way--who knows? Still a great beer that I would recommend.

Quite liked the presentation of this one. Firstly it came in a nice bottle then the colour of the beer was eye-catching,dark cherry with an off-white small compact head. Aroma was of pleasant caramel. Soft but lasting carbonation, very ripe grapes some nuttiness and maybe a hint of ginger.

Red with a candy aroma. Smoky, candied flavor, predominately caramel. Not bitter at all. Went well with my cigar.
