Jewbelation Bar Mitzvah poured
a very dark brown, blackish color with a finger width tan head. The nose is deep and complex, sweet with aromas
of dark fruit, chocolate, licorice, coffee, and tons of dark malt. Alcohol is slightly noticeable. The body
is fairly complex, smooth and thick, sweet and tons of chocolate up front. There is a huge roasted malt
backbone and the alcohol is lightly noticeable again in the middle of the body. The finish is harsh, overly bitter
and the alcohol runs wild. Overall, this is an interesting beer. It is phenominal up front and bad on the
finish. This beer has amazing potential but it needs to age for awhile, at least a year. Shmaltz is pushing
the limits with this beer and I cannot wait to taste it after it matures a bit. I almost did not rate it, but it
is available to drink now. I highly recommend buying this beer and letting it sit for 12-18 months.
