Brewed By:
Brooklyn
Self-Defined Style:
Barley Wine Brooklyn Monster Ale is a classic barley wine, a style of ale originally brewed by the butlers to the English and American aristocracy. It is brewed from three mashes of heirloom British malt and spiced with American Willamette, Cascade, and Fuggle hops. After four months of aging, it has a magnificent burnished copper color, an aroma redolent of sherry, citrusy hops and fruit, a soft, warming, complex palate, a spirituous finish, and a strength of 10.8%. It is vivacious when young, but will age gracefully for many years, becoming more complex over time.
Best With:
Brooklyn Monster Ale is a fine accompaniment to cheeses, ice cream, flourless cakes, crème brûlée, and good cigars.
