Split a 750ml bottle with D Kurtz at Winking Lizard In Mentor Ohio. Dark ruby-brown, dense tan head with excellent head retention and lacing. Complex aromas of brown sugar, sweet malt, herbs, and yeast. Flavor is brown sugar,dark fruit, and a slightly roasted malt base. With the ever present Belgian yeast trait. Warming finish. Overall, enjoyable. I had the Local 1 quite a while ago, but don’t remember what it tastes like. I need to get it again.

Dammit.. computer died... here we go again. I’m a mess. Local 2 goes great with Tanduay Rum from the Philippines. Pours out a clear deep brown brew with a big light tan fizzy, foamy, bubbly cap that threatens to overflow on every new pour. Killer Belgian aroma. Yeast, spices, pepper, cloves, raisins, anise, a touch of mild molasses, malty, very very fragrant now that it’s been sitting for almost 2 hours. Caramel, light fruit and more spices. Well done! A long sit on my counter has not harmed the taste what so ever. Sure, it’s mellowed out a bit from earlier on but it still holds up very well. Malty and yeasty with dates, raisins, some spice, nutmeg, bread and honey. The yeast shot was pretty face shattering. A loaf of bread just rose in my stomach.

Paikallinen Brooklyn olut on punaisen ruskea ja omaa lähes valkoisen vaahdon. Tuoksussa on hedelmiä (ainakin banaania), lakritsia ja mausteita. Maussa on tummia hedelmiä, lakritsia, karamellia, mausteita ja alkoholia. Runko on melko kevyt, mutta suutuntuma on silti miellyttävä.. Hiilihappoja on aika reippaasti.

Sampled @ Copenhagen Beer Festival 2010. Amber body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is light roasted malt, fruity and some spices. Flavor is sweet, mild roasted malt, some caramel, fruity and pleasant bitterness. A big beer with a surprisingly soft and smooth flavor.

Mahong brown beer with big and beige head. Roasted malts, yeast, spicies, some orange peel, dark fruits and wood in the aroma. Medium bodied with quite high carbonation. Taste is slightly roasted, fruits, some syrup and drying wooden hops in the end. Medium quality belgian style ale, slightly boring without nothing special, otherwise there are nothing to complain.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle, 0.75 l, BBE AUG13) The beer poured reddish brown and quite clear. Its head was quite large, its colour was white with hints of brown and it was very solid. Aroma contained malts, caramell, fruitiness, banana and citricness. Its palate surprisingly light bodied, warming and bit dry with medium carbonation. Flavours were caramell, sweetness, malts, mildly roastedness, hops and bitterness. Aftertaste was somewhat dry, malty and bitter. Aroma promised more than what the taste could deliver. A disappointment.
