Aug 11, 2006 This is truly one of my favorite barley wines. It is so very fruitful down to its very nature and being (as well with its taste). How could anyone ask for anything more satisfying? This is truly an all around beer with many complexities that lead one drinker, i.e. me, to be in astonishment. Double- Chocó is one thing on Brooklyn’s menu but watch out for the “Monster Ale- 2004." This is a high alcohol beer without the taste, of course, but it is original in character. Monster ale rates far higher than any other barely wine coming from the American land.

Oct 9, 2007 One of the most complex beers I’ve ever experienced. Similarin mouth-feel to a scotch, with a memorable, lasting finish.

May 1, 2003 Man, they named this beer correctly ! What a Monster ! Mine is the 2003 batch, I missed out on last years batch. More's the
pity too. Pours out a rich, caramel color, mine had a decent but short-lived head that faded to a nice lace. Citrus-y hops aroma
up front, with caramel aromas and malts galore. It's a very well balanced beer, Brooklyn Brewery sure did their homework on
this one. Spicy middle to it, with an alcohol finish. Very warming to the palate, not overdone however. The flavor changes as it
warms up, bringing the maltiness to the foreground. A very good beer. Makes me wish I'd bought a case, rather than a six
pack. Should age very well. I highly recommend trying this beer at least once.

Feb 25, 2001 One of the best barley wine style beers I’ve ever had. I was lucky enough to get 2000 and 2001 editions. Definitely a beer to cellar, it just gets better with age, it develops a hoppier and more bitter taste (which I love in a beer). Much smoother than Bigfoot, but I like the hoppiness and bitternes of Bigfoot better.

Feb 16, 2009 Protypical traditional English Barley wine. Tastes very authentic, reminding me of Thomas Hardy’s.

Jun 10, 2001 There was an excellent plum flavor followed by an extreme alcoholic hit that just leveled me...I wish that I had had more that just one, but @ 11.8%, that could prove disasterous

Jan 17, 2004 Wow. This is the best beer I have ever tasted. The initial smell is of hops with a bit of mall. Deep brownish red color, little head. Flavor starts of hops, then goes to a sweet chocolate/caramel flavor to a coffee, then to a hop finish. I'm sorry, but for all the beers I've rated and all the ones I've had but haven't rated, this is the best!
