Here in Brooklyn we’ve combined European malt and hops, Belgian dark sugar, and raw wildflower honey from a New York family farm to create Brooklyn Local 2. Our special Belgian yeast adds hints of spice to the dark fruit, caramel, and chocolate flavors. After 100% bottle re-fermentation, this ale reveals a marvelous dry complexity, enjoyable by itself or at the dinner table.

75cl bottle @ Shrewsbury Beer Share, March 16. Thanks to Mike for this, the final beer of the night. Pours deep hazy brown with tan head. Aroma is sweet molasses. Taste is dark fruits, brown sugar, molasses and manuka honey.. quite a complex intriguing beer.

Cork and caged 0.75 litre bottle at the April 2016 Shrewsbury Beer Geek meeting and shared between 5 of us: cheers Mike for this one. Red/Brown body, beige topping. Sweet molasses rule this brew, some dark fruits in the aroma but they get lost in the flavour as the molasses take over completely. My sweet tooth liked it, but I would have prefered to be able to pick up the honey and other ingredients as I sipped the beer, not just having a malty sugar rush.

Huge, fine & dense cream-beige head, with lace over deep chestnut- coloured beer. Molasses, brown candi sugar, but also leafy, woody and spicy. Yeastesters. Chocolate, wood flavours. Caramel & candi sugar are there in the mouth - more even in the finish, but they do not dominate totally. Hint at spearmint - a bit like a milkchocolate version of After Eight. Medium bodied, slick, well-carbonated. Still less MF than the average Belgian-made strong ales. Aftertaste unveils the honey. A tad too sweet to my taste;

Flaska från biet-deluxe.de. Ca 1,5 år gammal. Varmbron klar vätska med medelhöft skum. Söt frustig och maltig doft av torkad frukt, apstil, honung, lite anis. Söt smakbild men bra balanserad sötma. fina smaker av russin, fikon, honung, pastiller, karamell. Relativt komplex smak men fina nyanser och smaklager. Måttlig beska. Snygg och riktigt bra till en kraftig kötträtt.

Well done and well balanced. Light florals with hint of caramel. Hazy brown pour with decent head. A hint of coppery aroma. Light sweet and sour finish. I slightly prefer the local 1. Bottle.

Dark opaque caramel beer with a thick tan head that just won’t quit. Caramel malty nose with molasses, spice, a touch of honey just because I was looking for it, a flat yeast nose, and a touch of zee booze. Solid doubel taste, ripe cherries, molasses, thick caramel malt, bready yeast. Really nice caramel finish. Dangerously drinkable.
