The Beer Stats:- Beer Name: Monster Ales
- Brewery: Brooklyn Brewing Company (New York)
- Style: Barley Wine
- ABV: 10.1%
- IBU:
- Pour Color: A nice copper color that let light pass easy.
This beer poured with a head that disappeared quick. The scent off the top was a mix of apples and hops. Almost a falconers flight scent. The color was pretty much a copper and could easily be seen thru. The flavor gives you a nice mix of hops and malts with a yeasty taste. Not to sweet really and not really tasting like it's 10 percent. The hops are really the lightest taste not really bright or crisp. The hops might be the apple taste and scent I'm getting. The star is obviously the malts and yeast as you get a toasted roasted flavor while in mouth. Slightly sweet too. On swallow it turns to a yeasty biscuity taste that taste strange. It's a barley wine for sure though!
At such a high alcohol you'd expect that you'd taste it. You really don't though. 10.1% and it's still fairly mellow. The taste though is off kilter to me. I swam in it and it really reminded me most of the Brooklyn IPA but not really much more. If you're looking for a high ABV that will be fairly easy drinking this is it. Not personally a favorite in the mix of flavors they did this with. I'm actually really disappointed cause most of the time Brooklyn hits a home run in my opinion!
