Avery Old Jubilation Ale

Pours tall head, which collapses normally. Not too fast. Not too slow. Seems very carbonated. Dark brown, with hints of dark cherry color when held up to a light source. Wonderful aroma. Again, reminds me of cherries though perhaps that is what they’re calling the hint of hazelnuts. More than a hint to me. VERY nice flavor. Not overly hoppy and on the malty side for sure. Definately taste the hazelnut flavor they talk about. Not cloyingly sweet. Lightly roasted malts hang around on the pallate. Hides the 8% alc. well in its body, though as the beer warms up it does come out a little more pronounced. Overall, I’d definately put this on the buy again list. Wish I’d had this earlier in the season so I could’ve known to buy a whole six-pack!

Dark amber color with a wisp of an off white head. Multiple malt notes in the aroma along with a Barleywine style smell (yum). Big malt flavor combining crystal malts to give the caramel flavor, cherry like sweetness and highly roasted malts (such as black patent) for a porter like taste component near the end of the swill. Starting to notice burnt and coffee flavors too. Very good.

Aroma hints are somewhat od and fruity, like old fashioned candy. Dark color, like cola or dark cream soda. Strong big ale flavors. Alky and offensive. Be prepared to jubilate after a few of these. In your face annoyng manners. Cannot get thru the flavors to check out the mild carbonation. Too strong for my lager lovin girlie taste buds. Mildl~medium lingering bitter malt intimidating finish. Sorry, I’m not good enough for this brew, save it for the imlerialistics.

Pours out a reddish brown root bear color with no head. The aromas are very faint. The mouthfeel is thick and pleasant. The taste is very well blended with notes of wood which I guess is the hazel nuts. I like the blend even though it's not heavy or complex. Avery never seems to disappoint.

pours a muddy deep brown with small toffee colored head, OK retention, decent lacing. The aroma has lots of caramel, wood, licorice, toffee and some warming alcohol. The taste is of dark fruits, sweet caramel and chocolate, wood, abundant alcohol and black licorice. The mouth feel is medium bodied, the alcohol negatively impacts the drinkability, although the beer itself is light for the style. Appropriate carbonation

Pour kinda a dark burgundy brown with a very nice sized head. Aroma is something I have never smelled in a beer before. Detect strong hints of nuts, roasted malts and a generally earthy tone. Very little to no carbonation. taste is very earthy with hints of nuts and alchohol. Very warming. Remind me a a fine dry wine. I like it.

Malty aroma has fruity and subtle woody and nutty notes. Pours a clear chocolate brown with a fairly thick light cinnamon-tan head that doesn't stick around too long but leaves some good lacing. Flavor has a malty core and nutty, caramel and woody hops notes plus a hint of sweet chocolate. Smooth texture has good body and fizz, quite lively. Start the party!
