Since ancient times, people have complained that “things were better in the old days”. In the 1840’s, English brewers became nostalgic for beers of the previous century, strong dark ales with robust flavors. Thus the term “old ale” was born and these beers were re-popularized. Our Brooklyn Blunderbuss Old Ale brings back the grand old style. It’s brewed with flavorful English Maris Otter malt with a dash of equally flavorful raw demerara sugar from Malawi. Challenger and East Kent Golding hops give the beer appetizing earthy/fruity aromatics. The bitterness is crisp, balancing a solid center of orangey fruit with caramel and chocolate notes. It dries into the finish, leaving a warm glow of malt. Perhaps some things really were better in the old days. Enjoy Brooklyn Blunderbuss Old Ale with steaks, burgers, roast beef, lamb chops, Mexican mole and black bean sauces and hard cow’s-milk cheeses. Malts: British Maris Otter, Crystal, and Chocolate malts Other sugars: Raw demerara, Malawi Hops: Willamette, East Kent Golding, Challenger O.G.: 19° Plato (1076) ABV: 8.2%

Poured on tap at Rossi’s Pizza in Orlando for the thrifty price of only $1.99 (What!). It was served very cold with amber colored body and multi hued tan head. The aroma is on the bold side with full dark fruitiness, modest earthiness and malts. The taste is much the same with loads of dark fruity esters like prunes, figs, raisins and cherries to go along with a layer of molasses. It gets faintly earthy by midway where the alcohol fusel chemical notes are noticed and distract a bit from the experience. Still, good stuff.

Apr 24, 2009 On tap at the Bocktown, nice place. Mild milky aroma. Darker brown clear. Stronger alky initial taste. Piercing at times to the palate. Big bitter back of throat alky building sensation. Barely any carbonation. Taste is a little overboard for a lager lover. Bitter lingering finish. Sometimes this stuff gets in yer face.
