In Jewish tradition, 15 marks major commemorations: Passover (the Exodus), Sukkot (40 years of wandering), and Tu Bishvat (the New Year for Mother Nature) all start on the 15th day of the Hebrew month. 15 suggests a certain wisdom from experience: “Old is always 15 years from now.” – Bill Cosby. “We are always more anxious to be distinguished for one talent we do not possess than 15 we do.” – Mark Twain. After Andy Warhol, does 15 forever sound profound or frivolous? “In the future, everyone will be world famous for 15 minutes.” “Fame is the thirst of youth.” – Lord Byron. “The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has been extended is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife.” – Barack Obama. For Matt EP: Hall of Famer Bart Starr rocked #15 as MVP in the Packers’ first two Super Bowl victories. “South Park” evolved from “Jesus vs. Santa” and is now entering its 15th season. “We’re rehabbed and ready for our 15 minutes of shame.” – Marilyn Manson. Lyrics from Barry Manilow’s 2011 album, 15 Minutes, released on QVC Network: “Make me a deal, I’ll sell my guts for glory.” “Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few, and that at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life.” – Benjamin Disraeli. After 1,972,350 sets of 15 minutes of Shmaltz Brewing, I’ll hoist my Jewbelation Quinceañera and sing 15 rounds of ¡Viva la Evolución de He’brew! L’Chaim! Jeremy Cowan, proprietor

    Taps rich coffee brown with a thick tan head. Aroma offers bold notes of roast malt, caramel, and bourbon riding earthly and nutty undertones. Flavor fills the mouth with rich caramel, roast malt, bourbon and nutty notes, rather sweet, more barleywine than strong ale, very tasty. Viscous mouthfeel features good fizz. I’m glad Thinking Man saved a keg, else I would never have been able to try this. Praise the Lord - Dionysus!

    Packing a lot of flavor here, just seems like potential for slightly more. One of the better ones in the Jewbelation series. Some of the previous ones were overly sweet, as this one seems to have a better balance of chocolate malt. Tastes more like an Imperial Stout vs. the super-fruity dark ales loaded with fig, dates, etc. The sweetness is still here for sure, just seems a bit more drinkable and the ABV% hidden better. I had aged this about 2.5 years before sampling. Wish I had bought another, as the price was more than right, and I can see this going another year of aging.

    Nice smells coming out of this one, raisins, booze, molasses, a little tar. Big beer but not an overbearingly thick mouthfeel which was nice. Lots of burnt molasses in the flavor, but mostly just an overloaded sweetness. This one needs to warm up and be sipped slow.

    Poured with good head into a guiness pint glass, probably not the ideal tool for this tasting but it was what I had... Talked for a bit without tasting or smelling and the head reduced to a skiff after approxiamtely 2 minutes, expected and really impressive for a beer of this ABV. Smells sweet, raisins, table grapes, brown sugar, simple syrup, maybe a note of something vaguely green tea/kiwi. That last one is a stretch but those sensations do seem to occur. Tasting now, cherry, dark slightly sour, brandy poached cherries. Something like dark Rum. Slightly oily mouthfeel like white cranberry juice. Very nice beer, hidden ABV, HeBrew keeps impressing me.

    I continue to be impressed at the Jew series .. . pours a dark root beer brown .. . tar, brown sugar and a few different kinds of chocolate .. . unique and complex.. . awesome and like a bag of snowflakes .. . 15 things .. . . Like a prom dress made from carpet remnants.

    A dark brown-mahogany colored beer with a big foamy textured brown head rising robustly above. There's some hang time. It settles eventually into a thin ringlet. The profile in aroma and taste s sweet. Molasses sweet. Nice alcohol bite in a thick, syrupy beer makes this a sipping drink.

    really dug this one. splitting up a bottle a few ways would be ideal as a full glass got to be a little too sweet and hot as it warmed, but...it was a really nice sippin beer. on the sweet side - molasses, dark fruit, just a touch of hops. you could tell there was a ton of malt complexity in this, but not so much with the 15 hops. almost tasted barreled. not hot at all while colder, a little hot as it warmed, but not for a 15% beer! well done.

    Very dark cola brown with a thick creamy head for the style, roapy lacing is left behind with every sip. Sweet molasses, grape gum, strange spice, and for some very odd reason now trace of alcohol at the high 15%. Aroma and taste are surprisingly thin, I mean with every ingredient ever made by man thrown into one beer you'd think it would be thick and pungent but its not. Grape, apple, malts and lots of them, more flavour, other stuff, some things that taste like stuff. This is scaryly easy to drink.....15%!!! How!!Where!!!! The taste citrus is really blasting my face now. Beer is also developing a long lasting bitter finish. The sweetness is really starting to build up to massive levels...So very sweet. Three quarters done bottle still no sign of alcohol in the beer but my head is vibrating and "Just for Laughs Gags" is making me laugh. Coffee, mild dark chocolate, astringent is starting show up and medical hops. All Right Peter vs. the Chicken part 3 on family guy...EPIC!!! Back to the beer, been drinking it for close to two ours now, nothing bad to say, solid brew, how is this so drinkable? Vanilla, maybe it's rum, not sure but has that flavour. Beer is worth the price tag.
