Another Good Beer

Hey all... Time for a new beer to try and review and I really like this one. It comes from the Shmaltz Brewing Company in New York and this on is the JEWBELATION TWELVE which is a special brew that will not be brewed again. So if you can get a hold of this one, get it now because it is good. This one is a Limited Edition Holiday Seasonal Brewed With 12 Malts & 12 Hops Soaring To 12% Alc. This one is kind of funny if you go to the link above with the website... Jewbelation Twelve will bring a nearly miraculous warming glow to store shelves in 22 oz. bottles and a very
limited amount of draft for select bars nationwide from October 2008 through March 2009.

OK... on to the beer which is a Brown Ale but I didn't know that until I saw the web sit. This one is thick! If you think Guinness is think you have no idea. I loved this one and hope I can get another bottle of it. Great taste, very well hopped and it was chewy. I know it was liquid but after you have a few mouthfuls it really describes it well... Chewy!, but I still loved it. If I didn't know what kind of beer it was I would think it was an Imperial Stout. It was so good with 12 hops and 12 malts...chocolate, malty, caramel with a hint of figs or raisins... oh so yummy. This one is definitely not for those who like the miller lites of the world. Or if you are thinking of having more than 2! 12% of alcohol makes it go along way and being so thick... it's a meal! I would recommend this one and I would have to say it's at the top of what I've had so far in tastings on here. It is think and really chewy but the flavor is so good. You can take a sip and taste one thing... and take another and find something else in there that you can pick out... WONDERFUL!!!
