Commercial Description:
Brooklyn Brown Ale, made exclusively with American ingredients, won Bronze medals at the Great American Beer Festival in the Strong Ale Category in 1991 and in the American Brown Ale Category in 1992. Brooklyn Brown uses pale, crystal, chocolate, and black malts to attain a complex creamy texture. It is more heavily hopped than its British forbears.

Brown and clear with a minimal head. Aroma is malty, roasted with some hops. Flavour starts semi-sweet wiht nice roasted malts before turning somewhat bitter from the hops. Smooth and full but I prefer lighter hops and more malt body in my brown ales.

Brown color with a small brown head. The taste is sweet, malty with a light fruityness. Features a complex malt pattern. Nicely blanaced.

(Bottle) Pours beautiful red to brown. Light roasted aroma with chocolat, nuts, Caramel/toffee and tiny hints of coffee. Perfumy undertones with berries, flowers, metal and some spices. Roasted flavour with sweet chocolate and malt blended with a light citrusy tone. Pretty light body. Sourish undertone with some metal.

Pours reddish brown with a thin wispy tan head. Aroma of toffee, sweet caramel, hint of raisins. Taste is lightly toasted, notes of walnuts, brown sugar, and some citric floral hoppiness in the finish. Medium bodied with medium/high carbonation. Good, but I don’t think it’s 84%tile good.

(on bottle) I believe that brown ales are quite difficult to judge, it´s a big group. But I can see why this is very popular. It´s nothing special, nut-brown color, nose of dark malts, and a small hopping in the end. It´s just that I can´t put my finger on anything special; a good mainstreemer.

Very dark brown with a nutty-sweet aroma. Taste was less than great, possibly due to my heavy eating prior to this beer. Sweet, chocolatish malts were OK. This beer was too "in between" for me - I’d prefer either an amber or a nice stout, but not this half-breed that isn’t all that special.

12oz bottle-A light brown body with a small tan ring for a head and an aroma of roasted malt and a little nutty. A medium bodied brew with a malt, chocolate, hops, and a sweetness to it. I agree with some of the other reviews I think it is too sweet but a great tasting brown.

[from a bottle at "the Mondiale"] Clear, orangish-brown with a filmy tan head and a nice ring. Candy/oxidized aroma with plum and tobacco notes and some fruit--apple(?). Raisiny tobacco flavour with a little bit of toasted malt and toffee. Also a blend of bittering from dark malts and hops gave a nutty, sherry-like finish. Light body and medium carbonation. Very nice.
