A couple of months ago I popped open a 2008 Brooklyn Monster. It poured a deep reddish amber with a brassy gold glint. Being a couple of years old, it had mellowed, the bite was gone, and there was no perceptible alcohol flavor. It was sweet with an almost dry finish. Barleywines and stouts are worth aging for a couple of years. It's really amazing how much better they are when they mature. 2008 Brooklyn Monster Ale
