This is probably the strongest flavored Winter Warmer I've had this season. It also happens to be the most mellow flavored Avery beer I've had yet. The Old Jubilation is a roasty, spiced Winter Warmer that has a very warming flavor. There is a strong bitterness in this beer, but that's something you can pretty much expect with all Avery beers. That bitterness isn't overpowering, at times it even tastes a little like chocolate. The other flavors in this beer balance out the bitterness to a degree, but in the end the Old Jubilation tastes like an oaked brown ale with a touch more dry roasted malt.
If you're a fan of Avery's bigger beers you might not enjoy this beer as much because it lacks the huge flavors that you may have come to expect from Avery. That being said, this is still a solid Winter Warmer. The Old Jubilation is much more strongly flavored than most Winter Warmers and at 8% alcohol it's decidedly warmer...
