Jules by Parrotdog is a captivating Belgian-style IPA that invites you on a flavorful journey. Pouring a deep, hazy mahogany color, this beer boasts a thick, creamy tan head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma is rich and complex, featuring notes of plum, dark chocolate, caramel, and earthy yeast, with hints of spice and molasses adding depth. The flavor profile is full-bodied and malty, with a sweet and fruity character. The dominant flavors are plum, raisin, brown sugar, and a subtle hint of banana. The esters and phenols from the yeast contribute a spicy, clove-like warmth, creating a balanced and harmonious experience. The mouthfeel is medium to full-bodied, with a smooth, velvety texture. The moderate carbonation provides a gentle effervescence, and a lingering sweetness lingers on the palate, inviting you to savor each sip. Jules is a classic example of a Belgian Dubbel, offering a rich and balanced blend of malt and fruitiness. Its smooth texture and subtle spice make it a complex and enjoyable beer to savor, pairing well with hearty dishes such as roasts, stews, or aged cheeses.
