This has a rich brown color with an off white head. Malt aroma is predominant. The flavor is rich, malty and sweet with a slightly bitter touch in the finish. Another fine Brooklyn offering.

Heavy malt aromas, laced with dark chocolate, come from this opaque black Stout. The head is huge - creamy and dense with a mocha color. Sweetly bitter, well balanced and creamy full body. Loads of chocolate linger on the tongue. Very nicely done and worth seeking out. This needs to be a year round brew.

This poured as sparkling clear amber with ample red highlights. What little head there was diminished quickly. Malty aroma with raisins and alcohol. This medium bodied beer was slightly syrupy with a sour/acidic bite to the palate. It had a sweet finish. This beer has a lot of competition.

Orange color; poor head. Strange vegetable aroma and flavor. (Sorry, I'm disturbed by Bov's mumbling, I can't tell more…). Soap. Strange. Unpleasant.
A big thank to Jens (Ungstrup), Jacob (Lövenlund) and Rasmus (Nørrebro Bryghus) for all the effort!

Brooklyn's East India Pale Ale is a well crafted brew. The hops get away with being somewhat subdued by the well balanced nature of this beer. Aroma is hops and malt, the head is thick and substantial, the flavor is dry with a good mouth feel. Under rated IPA.

2003 bottling. I enjoy barleywines, but this didn't do the trick. Poured red-brown with a light tan head that was initially thick but soon dissipated. Earthy hops aroma with fermented fruit notes. Flavor was not very interesting; slightly sweet fermented fruit notes mingled with earthy hops and strong alcohol flavors. Rather thin-bodied, which also contributed to the alcohol notes being so strong. Not a very good barleywine.

Brown-amber color. Fizzy aroma, white sugar (candy floss), malt, metallic, lightly hoppy. Quite dry, light mouthfeel, with a lot of caramel, some roasted malts and nuts, metallic. Average palate. Poor, IMO.

2011-03-15, draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 7-4-8-4-15=38
Black color; thick creamy head, beige. Dark malts aroma, some bread dough too. Good body structure; strong flavor of roasted malts and dark chocolate, with a fair share of black coffee too, and light sourness that adds some vibe. Strong bitterness. Old School Chocolate Stout, very good.

Black, with a thin brown head. Aroma of liquorice, tar, roasted malt. Thick, malty, roasted malt, coffee, liquorice, dark chocolate. Strong roasted bitterness. Good but nothing more.

Copper-amber color; poor head. Very strange, but nice, perfumy aroma, fruits (oranges, apricots), rhum, spices… Dry mouthfeel, ordinary. Finishes with a mild caramel/bitterness. Good try for the aroma, but the rest...

Strong aroma of toasted malt and chocolate. Surprisingly thin-bodied for an Imperial Stout, although the dark brown body is opaque. Very slight tan ring of carbonation clinging to the glass. Flavor is dominated by strong toastiness, with chocolate and dark fruit also providing character. Rich, but too thin-bodied for an Imperial. I prefer my Imperials syrupy and over-the-top.
