Avery Old Jubilation Ale:
Hello all and welcome to another winter day another winter beer review (I know, life is difficult for me right now, winter beer after winter beer followed by another winter beer).  Today let us look at Avery’s offering to the beer world during these days of shortened day light and long nights.  Old Jubilation is a heavy Old Ale style beer that comes in at an very respectable 8.3% ABV and a bottle label that seems to be lifted from a Thomas Kinkade painting.  The beer pours a dark amber color with oatmeal colored head that starts of rocky and dissipates down to a thin film that leaves a good lace while the nose consist of sweet breads and subtle spices. The beer’s taste is very uniform from stem to stern with a creamy body that has a nice opening note of spice that blends to a roasted malt taste that lingers on the back end and after taste.  A good winter beer, it’s variation of tastes being creamier than most beers while have a it of bite to it makes this a memorable beer.  I will add this to the list of repeats for the future beer fridge and I suggest you take a chance on this one, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
