Brooklyn Monster Ale

Bottle poured a nice amber color with a sweet fruity smell that takes me to days of walking through orchards in the summertime as a child. Tastes very smooth with complex flavors of fruit and a nice tart hop aftertaste. Laces well as you drink it and has a medium mouthfeel. Nice barley wine.

Not my favorite style but this was a nice barley wine. Dark reddish amber, tiny head. Taste of sugar, caramel, and malt, alcohol, syrupy mouth saved by good carbonation, long hoppy finish.

Bottle @ Tre Små Rum, Gothenburg. Clear amber/reddish with quite small head. Fruity, caramel aroma. Quite sweet taste of fruit and caramel. Supprisinly thin taste for being such a strong beer. Not the taste sensation I was hoping for.

Darker coppery color. Taste of caramel with woody flavors and a nice aftertaste. Smooth and almost thick taste

bottles from emacgee and The Epeeist. Thanks!
Pours semi clear dark maroon with a medium sized lasting light beige head. Smell is alcohol, and sweaty, dirty, B.O. like malt. Odd, and unappealing, really. Taste is rich, strong and moderately alcoholic with toasty malt. Sweaty, mustiness again, and slightly syrupy with a bubbly mouthfeel. Not very appealing flavorwise, and boring and bland at the same time. I would not recoment this barely wine at all.

Bottle. 2007 Vintage. Copper beer with a light tan head. Caramel, light fruit, light nut, light sherry aroma. Sherry flavor with caramel, citrus, and pine backing and a bit of darker malts. Medium-plus bodied. Lingering caramel, slight darker fruits and Northwest hops. Would develop into something very nice with time.

pours brownish-apricot with no head (translucent, not cloudy). fruity, sournose. strong fruit, sourness, acidity. full mouth feel. not a style i enjoy. one is enough for me.

This is a pretty good barleywine, but it’s high alcohol could be hidden better. The hops, sweet and fruity malts, and citrus make it a flavorful, good beer.
