I reviewed another Brooklyn Brew a while ago, Beer #20 Black Chocolate Stout. They've been brewing fine brews since 1988, this Monster was born in 2007.
It has a cloudy brown colour with a thick tan coloured head.
The yeastiness is quite strong in the aroma, with a less strong note of roasted maltiness and some notes of floral and bitterness of the hops.
The malt comes in first with the yeastiness rolling into take over the forefront of the taste, with the maltiness still there but more subtle, the bitterness of the hops come in as the maltiness fades away. The finish is yeastiness and the floral notes of the hops.
A stong brew at 10.1% but perhaps a little less potent than most other barleywines. It has most of the flavour components of other barleywines however. Worth a try, however not my favourite barleywine, but I can also see why many would like it. So give it a shot and see what you think, afterall, it's not my taste that matters but yours! Cheers!
