Brooklyn Monster Ale

3.7/5

AROMA
7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

12 ounce bottle, 2008 version. Pours clear copper-red color with a small foamy off white head with fair retention, no glass lacing. Aromas of caramel, molasses, dark fruits, and alcohol. Taste is quite malty with caramel, molasses, and some dark fruits. A bit of bitterness on the finish, but not much. The alcohol in this beer is well hidden, with only a bit of alcohol warming on the finish. Very smooth drink for its ABV level. Medium carbonation and full body. Nothing spectacular, but a solid barley wine.

Only my second Brooklyn beer, I have heard some mixed thoughts on their normal offerings.
