Dennis: When Jen wanted to try a beer called "Jewbelation" I was very skeptical. It sounded like something right out of a Weird Al song to me, and was just tacky. After having drank some though I have to say I was surprised at how good this brew was. The name is supposed to represent various things, including the fact that it uses 9 different hops, 9 different malts, and that it's 9% alcohol. Whatever it is they put in this really works together well. Almost a "double" brown ale, the aroma is very brown ale-ish, roasty with some hops. The body is medium, really not to thick for the type of beer this is. The taste is very rich, malty, with a bit of an alcohol kick. 1/2 way though the glass you'll be feeling no pain, that's for sure. Definitely worth trying, and quite a good brew at that.
Jen: I definitely find brown ales to be my favorite genre of brews, and this one will fit right in with my list. This is very rich with chocolaty burnt malts with a dash of coffee. It has 9 hops in it that become apparent at the end. It is 9% ABV, which I would not have believed by the taste. There is a slight twinge of an alcohol taste, but nothing that deters me from taking a swig!
