3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20 Narnad (1136) - Wonder Lake, Illinois, USA - FEB 10, 2012
Pours a brown color with a thin, off white head. Nose is nutty with some spicy noble-like hoppiness, lots of toasted malt presence with an overall sweet dark fruit nose, rather than a bitter one. Flavor starts off with a very toasted, sweet malt note. To me, the flavor has a non-sugary cola like flavor. Body is smooth, slightly sugary but has a slight crispness to offset it. Overall a tasty brew as it warmed up and allowed the flavors to really pop more. Didn’t like it as much as other Brooklyn offerings but definitely a good brown.

Hældes i dimply mug glas. mørkebrun med let krone som er væk...smag af lidt choko, med en overdosis af koffein...savner nok en let sødme... Løvbjerg.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ComradeK (466) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - FEB 8, 2012
330ml bottle. Pours a deep, murky chestnut, with a smallish and rapidly fading white head, which leaves barely any lacing. The aroma is fairly mild, with roasty, nutty malt notes and, weirdly enough, a hint of curry leaves. A faint lemon taste accompanies some quite strong herbal hops, which fade into some sweetish citrus. The body is less malty than one would tend to expect from a brown ale, although there are some milk chocolate and nut flavours. A roasty malt finish lingers quite nicely. Not a bad beer, although I personally prefer the more malty and less hoppy classic brown ales over the hoppier American-style examples.

This was a pretty well put together Brown Ale but it was a bit tart for my liking. Almost tasted a bit like a raisin.

Even better than regular Brooklyn Lager, itself one of the best bottle beers available. Slightly sweet, yeasty aroma, average carbonation. Very flavorful chocolate and hop taste. Lingering chocolate and hop finish. Would definitely buy again.

Uma cerveja razoável, não tão surpreendente como a Brooklyn Lager e Pale Ale, porém mantém o nome da cervejaria com respeito. Maltada, queimada, bem encorpada.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Chudwick (360) - Taylor Mill (KY), FRANCE - JAN 30, 2012
35cl bottle - pours dark brown with nice beige head and decent lacing. nose is roasted malts and light hops. Taste competes for sweetness and bitterness with the bitterness winning out. Medium body with slick to sticky texture. This has semblance of a porter but on the very light side. interesting
