Avery Old Jubilation Ale

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: English Strong Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

Sweet malt aroma, and taste. Red brown color. Solid body and mouth feel. Medium head

Let me start by saying I am a big fan of Winter and Old Ales, and Old Jubilation may be my favorite. The beer pours a reddish brown with a relatively good head of foam that hold up well. The aroma is tart cherry, currents, malt, and a wisp of alcohol. A great smelling beer. The Cherry and Currents in the aroma take of the beginning of the taste, and remain for quite a while, then you pick up a good dose of malt, and the taste ends with a mild burn (as would be expected in a Winter Warmer), and a good dose of bittering hops. Wow Mouthfeel and Drinkability are what you would expect from a quality brewed strong Ale. Over all outstanding!

Avery tap room 9/22/09. Aroma; almonds and medium caramalts. Taste; THIS IS A PALE PORTER... some tiny funkiness?

Clear brownish-red pour with an off-white head, good retention, sticky lacing. Roasted malt, nutty aroma with a hint of hop bitterness. Sweet malt, molasses and carbonation at the beginning leading to a semi-dry bitterness from the hops. Could be more complex. Medium body, moderate carbonation, mild alcohol warmth. A winter warmer for sure!

A dark red beer with a small head. Aroma was like an old ale. The taste was a dark malty taste with a sweet candy finish that is roasty like a watered down stout. It also tastes like the picture- meant to be drunk on a cold snowy day.

Bottle. The beer was hoppy, but not at all overbearing. Slight piny taste.

Dark mahogany with a tan head; rich aromas and flavors of malt. Has a slight acid, slight hop taste; aromas are of caramel. Solid, but not very complicated nor very interesting.

Pours a caramel color with a large tan head. Mild aroma; a bit of hops and alcohol. Flavor is very hoppy with some bitter coffee and charcoal. Medium body and carbonation.
