Brooklyn Local 2

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

750. Pours deep dark brown, nearly black, with a humongous head - carbonation is very vigorous. Aroma has dark fruit, spices, honey, some yeast. Flavor contains a nice mix of sweet malts with spiciness; the orange peel comes through, along with candi sugar notes and caramel. The honey lends some dryness, particularly in the finish, though there’s a little sweetness that follows through to the end. A pleasantly dry and sparkling palate. An interesting and well-constructed beer.

Received 750 ml bottle via Secret Santa 2009. Pours a deep semi-hazy amber colored brew with a heavy off-white head that slowly dissipated to a thin ring. Aroma of dark pitted fruits, some figs, a hint of candi sugar, vanilla and caramel malt, Taste is medium to full bodied, some alcohol scent, with flavors of candi sugar, a touch of banana and vanilla. Finish semi-tart, with a nice vanilla and dark pitted fruit aftertaste.

750 ml bottle. Honey and sweet malts on the nose, spicy. Pours a hazy amber with a thick fluffy off white head. Caramelly malty, very crisp, starts out sweet but has a crisp bite and a dry finish. Very nice drinking beer. I’m drinking it with braised lamb shank with wild mushrooms and it is pairing very nicely!

pours a beep brown red with a huge off white head. aroma is up front with citrus peel, lots of orange, candied sugar, malt, alcohol. drinks the same with a smooth sweetness and a fresh citrusy element that works very well. 9% is well hidden and this is very drinkable.

Brown coloured beer with small off-white head and lots of carbonation. Sweet malty aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is bitter ending more sweet.

Bottle as shown. Pours a dark cloudy brown with a large creamy light tan head that lasts awhile leaving good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a fruity yeast with light malt and brown sugar. Medium mouthfeel with a brown sugar malt with yeast and nice spicy finish. A very good belgian strong ale from Brooklyn.

Bottle. Pours a brown, hazy color with a very large, frothy white head. Lacing is weak. Aromas of candy, bananas, malts, and citrus. Creamy palate to start, a smooth mouthfeel, and a clean finish. Flavors of malts, citrus, and I get just a bit of the honey as the aftertaste. Good beer that was enjoyable.

A very special bottle from EDA, thanks. Dark pour, almost black, with some beige head. Aroma is some light toffee / chocolate, belgian yeast, and some pit fruit. Flavor is the same, with a hint of sugary sweetness, and the yeast lingers in the finish.
