12oz bottle Citrus, pine, peach honey and elderflower aroma - maybe a bit overly perfumed. Orange amber, low head, champagne bubbles. Burned note on the tip of the tongue comes before a neutral soapy light spot, woody notes, which in turn is followed by a quite flowery perfumed exit. Body feels lightish and mouthfeel is a tad fizzy. Sweet peachy aftertaste.

Bottled. Clear reddish brown. Caramelly and clean. Boring brief caramel flavour followed by a short finish with low bitterness. Lifeless and industrial. Is it just me or has this brewery gone downhill?

Cloudy yellow in color, with an intensely spicy aroma, that has slight hints of freshly harvested grain - quite sweet for a saison, with some banana/clove flavors that are more like a hefeweizen than a saison - slightly hoppy in the finish - a solid offering, even though it isn’t true to style.

2001 vintage, 11.8 ABV Fully hazy foxy-amber; yellowish head, fine, slightly irregular, slowly dissipating. Fruitcake, noble hops, raisins, mouldy oakwood, warm nose. Dry woody character, vinous, faint hoppy background, several malt notes, different but seamlessly blending. Walnut flavour, hidden alcohol. Warming up, some bitterish cherry flavours (Bitterkirsche), " boerenjongens " (cherries or plums on jenever). Warming, alcohol, slick, full-bodied. Long fruity aftertaste with bitter chocolate notes. A great one by Garett. Very balanced BW. Great opportunity to taste this 3-year old vintage - big thanks to Aaron Hecker!

I look forward to the release of this one each year . This is my favorite of the yearly production beers from Brooklyn. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz bottle this beer poured a nice mahogany color with a small tan head. The aroma was malt, molasses and a nice hop presence. The flavor was caramel, malt, and some hops - particularly on the finish. A nice barleywine that is strong, flavorful and no too heavily dominated by the hops.

Bottle Pours black with a dark tan head that leaves some determined lacing. Aroma is of tanned leather, licorice and of course chocolate, but not as much as I expected, and prunes. Flavor is coffee bittersweet chocolate, bourbon, and charcoal. Finish is a bit more bitter than I expected, but the feel is rich and appropriately heavy. Very nice.

I have been pretty pleased with a number of Brooklyn products so it was with a nice amount of anticipation that I came to their Weisse. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle the beer poured a cloudy orange-gold color wit a very small white head. A strong aroma of sweet wheat with a hint of sour tang drifted across the table. The front flavor was sweet wheat and this was followed by a dry wheat flavor on the middle and aftertaste. There was a mild sour tang but no real citrus. A hint of spice. Quite wheaty. Another decent beer by Brooklyn but they have a number that I like much more.

Appearance is nice: golden, unfiltered, with a nice head. Smell is mildly banana, with hints of wheatiness in there. Flavor is very plain, very ordinary. Kinda bitter, not too bad- but a rather boring brew.

Deep brown, with very little head. Aroma is sweeter than most brown ales- kinda fruity, and definitely full of flavor. Taste is sweet, medium bodied, and nice. Very drinkable beer.

Draught at Brewtopia ’04 Thin, disappearing head on a cloudy light yellow beer. The aroma is mildly malted spiced vanilla. Corriander and spice kick in to give this a clean, pleasant aftertaste. Spicy and refreshing.
