He'Brew Monumental Jewbelation

Cola brown with no cap just a single sad bubble floating on top. Aroma is mild but yummy, soya sauce , burnt sugar, hints of yummy malt but its hard to find. Taste is the same as aroma yummy but not really there. A spice shows up it taste that complements the burnt sugar, and a mild piney hop that I enjoy. Brew finishes bitter but a sweetness lingers on the tung. Taste is crisp and hints of coffee started to show up towards end of the glass. Good brew!

I liked this one. Pretty good balance between the malts and hops. A lot more hoppy than sweet, but that is expected of this kind of ale. I wouldn't call it a hop bomb though. This was my first introduction to the Hebrew Beer family. I tried one or two others besides this, and I would say that this was their best that I tried. Probably not a beer that will "super-wow" you or to beermail your buddy about, but I'd say it is worth trying. I would buy again....especially for the 10% ABV!

2006 Bottle Date, Sampled September 2007
Well I have been avoiding this bottle for almost a year, not because I think it will be undrinkable, but because I have had so many other distracting things to try instead. Lets see how this has held up. The beer appears lightly carbonated from the scant, one-finger thick, brownish tan colored head. The beer is quite dark with an almost black, burnt brown hue to it. The aroma is quite the mix of hop and dark malt aromatics. Aromas of candied orange peel, dark chocolate, black coffee, tangelo, tropical fruit and a significant berry character. If you dig for it a significant, toasted almost to the point of being burnt / caramelized bread-like aroma becomes noticeable. The hops and malt, along with the 10% alcohol, produce a fruity brandy like note to this beer. The aroma is really nice and complex and hopefully foretelling of good things to come.

Chewy and thick feeling on the tongue, this is accentuated by the light carbonation, which can’t hide the viciousness of this brew. Fairly sweet tasting, but this is quite well balanced by many other strong flavors in this brew. Fruity hop notes of candied orange peel, berries, lychee syrup and tangelo mix with malty fruit notes of raisins and figs and even something like a liquorice note. All of these fruit notes have a significant burnt character to them as if they were blackened significantly over and hardwood flame. Bitter, roasted Coffee notes that one would think would completely clash with, but manage not to, and in fact intermingle and play nicely with the up front, concentrated fruit flavors. The finish is influenced by a lightly bitter burnt malt character, a touch of warming alcohol and a light hop bitterness. The hops also provide a menthol / pine-like note to the finish, that is fairly light.

Easily one of the better beers I have had from Shmaltz. I really like the mix of fruit and dark malt character; this is like a really hoppy Imperial Stout, though without a omnipresent hop bitterness. After having smelled this beer for a bit I was sure that the aroma would be better than the flavor, but I am quite pleased to proven wrong. This is still quite a hop dominated brew, but I have a feeling that time has allowed a bit more of the malt character to come through to better create an overall balance in this beer.

"Wow. What can I say about this beer. I tried some of my friends during the Christmas 2006 mini tour at Old Chicago. He was halfway through it and started laughing at his mozzerella sticks. It tasted great, but lightweights beware."

this beer poured a beautiful dark brown color, with a thick tan head. the taste and aroma went hand in hand, with an initial shock of hops and nuts. the mouthfeel was heavenly thick, and i would definately have this brew again.

Poured a brown color with okay head good lacing. Aroma was woody and caramel. Flavor was much the same. was a little to sweet for my liking. It did have a bitter finish to it as it warmed.

Poured a brown color with a tan to chocolate head, receded quickly to a thin covering, good lacing, though. The aroma was maple, oak, sweet caramel and toffee. The flavor followed suit including some hop bitterness in the finish and some roasted malts. Unfortunately, this was really sticky and cloying, although not overly sweet, just malty sticky, not in a good way. A bad conoction, nothing working together here.

Another nice surprise from He'Brew. Pours with a very malt accented and grainy aroma with some muddled hops coming through as it warms. Deep dark brown with a great, fluffy, tan head. Coating mouthfeel with nice carbonation, soft and filling but not sticky. Very balanced flavors, full grain flavors, hoppy bitterness with spice and floral flavors. A nice beer, it fall on the complicated side rather than complex, but it still a nice effort, it should age rather well.
