Jewbelation 5677 (9)

Brewed By: Shmaltz Brewing Company (He’Brew)

Style: American Brown Ale

ABV: 9%

IBU: Once again, Jewish secret or something

I had my first brewing class this evening at Great Fermentations in Indianapolis! You can check out their website HERE. It is awesome to have such a wonderful homebrew store so close. The owner and sales people are educated lovers of beer and I look forward to working with them more as I venture into the brewing world! Can’t wait to start posting about my brews!

Anyhow…..

Continuing the journey through the He’Brew Anniversary Box!

Look – Near black pour, with dark red highlights against light. A thin light khaki head sat on the top for a short while before dissipating.

Smell – There is a strong malt nose with a little bit of chocolate in there as well. Not much hop smell. There is a strong alcohol smell as well.

Taste – A ton of malts battling for attention. A lot of alcohol taste as well. The hop profile is very balanced with the malt. 18 total ingredients between the malts and hops, nothing stands out very much. An interesting earthy taste as well.

Conclusion - I was pleased to find that I liked this beer more than Miraculous Jewbelation. I was worried with more and more ingredients coming into the mix, the flavor was going to be lost in a weird mix of tastes. My taste buds were a little tired by the end of the pint.

I give this beer a B.

Happy Drinking!
