Mar 5, 2008 Pours to a bright golden body with lots of carbonation and a frothy white head and nice lacing. The aroma is grainy and yeasty with sweet sugars and simple yeasty malts. The flavor reminds me of a high octane Leffe Blonde. Alcoholic phenols and sweet sugars, flavorful yeasts, with a very sweet palate and seems very hot for 9%.

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle shared by Blake. Golden body under a small white head. Dry alcohol, bitter hops, and a touch of honey in the nose. The flavor improves with the honey element getting stronger alongside cracker dryness, alcohol and grassy hops. Good but not interesting to this sampler.

Mar 4, 2008 Pours a light golden color w/ a tall thick dense white head and nice lacing. First aroma was mostly citrus and yeasty notes. Some light spices of white pepper and clove follow, some lightly sweet sugars. Pal is pretty avg. Sweet sugars, an odd earthy note and quite a bit of yeast some dry honey’s and cloves... Ok I guess but not special.

Mar 4, 2008 Extremely complex belgian. multiple different flavors and aromas build upon tasting. Begins with citrusy, earthy tones and end with a nice sharp clove/spice touch. Each sip left something exciting behind

Feb 23, 2008 May 2007 - Pale straw yellow color with huge head at pour. Took a while to get the bomber into two wine goblets. Weak aroma of honey malts. Flavor was very complex, honey, pears, some grassy hops and a lot of cloves with some other peppery spices. Finished with a mildly tart citrus sourness. Could have passed for a trippel or a saison. High carbonation. Decent...worth seeking out.

Feb 22, 2008 Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and spices - especially coriander. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of alcohol, and medium notes of coriander as well as other spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Feb 20, 2008 Brooklyn Local 1 is a cloudy amber ale with a thick, frothy, foamy, splotchy, waxy, off-white head. It has great retention and lacing. The aroma is strong and complex: bread, hay, flowers, grass, earth, leaves, forest, peach-- yet none of these elements dominates. It’s a touch sweet. I said "holy crap" to an empty room when I smelled this. It is medium-light bodied and pretty smooth. The finish is bitter and warm and prickly like whiskey. It is lightly sweet, well bittered and a bit sour. It’s pretty well balanced. The flavor is similar to the aroma, but not as sweet. It’s so complex that it seems almost disjointed. Age this. There are flavor notes of green and dried leaves, apricot, prune, sour cherry, orange marmalade and cigars. It’s strong and bright, but rather smooth. Nice!
