Shmaltz Brewing Co. HeBrew Jewbelation Twelve

One of the coolest named brews I've ever had - HeBrew. Suggested to us by our own resident Jew at work - he does not mess around and this is further apparent by how good this brew is. We will definitely be trying more of this type of brew based off this first one.

Poured out pretty black - might as well have been called an imperial stout. It had a nice, dark, yellowish head that was very full and lasted quite a while. The edges of the brew had a caramel tint when you held it up to a light but it was still very opaque. It had a very interesting scent that started hoppy and went sweet. The flow of smells was very interesting and there were quite a few to pick out. At the first taste, it seemed a little bitter and then a bit of sweetness came in. It was also very frothy and it ended with a nice alcoholic taste - very subtle considering it's 12%. This brew had quite a bit of body. It was very smooth and I really enjoyed the flow of flavors and textures.

Overall, a great brew. It's was pretty cheap too. I cannot wait to try the other kinds of beer HeBrew puts out. Hopefully the rest are just as good as this.

Appearance - 4.4
Smell - 4.4
Taste - 4.2
Texture - 4.2
Overall - 4.3/5
