Feb 20, 2009 750ml twist cap growler fill. Mild aroma of sweet, dark, pitted fruit and lightly toasted malt. Tart fruit skin. Cherries and prunes. Earthy and grassy malt and hop profile. Pours a dark, nearly opaque brown with a thick, creamy off white head leaving spotty lacing. The English malts and hops definitely dominate the flavor. Earthy, toffee and toasty malt. Grassy, dirty and rather nondescript hops. Some tart apple, dried banana, bakers chocolate. Hops and malt never really come together all that well. Fairly light bodied for and Old Ale. Carbonation was adequate. Finishes fairly watery and dry. Thanks Larry!

Feb 11, 2009 The aroma is malty, toasted malts, and a nutty quality. A murky sweetness arises from the beer as well, like molasses maybe. Attractive amber, almost brown color, light off white head, decent amount of carbonation. The flavor is nutty up front, toasted malt, caramel, sugar, slight alcohol. Very enjoyable. The finish is a lingering bitterness from the hops, and slight alcohol. I love both traditional and old ales. This was worth finding. Definitely an enjoyable beer.

Feb 3, 2009 Thanks to beerbill for sharing last week. Pours a deep dark clear amber and a lasting thin head. Aroma is of toasted and nutty malts, lgith caramel sweetness, some light fruitye esters and a bit of raisin. Thin alcohol flavor with some slight sweet malts, nuts, char, and lots of candied dried fruits, some figs and dates, more fusels in the end and almost a vodka like end note. I expected more from Brooklyn on this one.
