This is He'Brew's 11th year of brewing and 11th Jewbelation beer. This beer has 11 different malts including 2 types of rye and 11 different hops. Most beers only use a 3 or 4 types malts and 2 or 3 types of hops. He'Brew has a good poster on there web site listing the malts and hops and fun facts about the number 11.
The aroma is very hoppy with some malt aroma. From the hops there is a grass and fruit smell, and a chocolate smell from the malts. Almost smells like a chocolate cover malt. The color is very dark as expected from the choice malts, cannot see though the beer. The head is thick with lots of retention, it sticks to the side of the glass as it goes down.
The taste is sweet and flavorful with a touch of alcohol. The flavors from all the malt and hops are quite unique. The hops have unripe fruit flavors and plenty of bitterness. The malt brings chocolate and earthy flavors. The rye gives the beer a smooth full mouthfeel. And the finish is a little bitter. There is some alcohol warming to this beer, but only a little considering it is an 11% beer.
This is a big beer with lots of unique flavors. I wouldn't recommend this beer to someone that isn't a fan of big beers. I am looking forward to Jewbelation Twelve
