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.

This brown ale poured a deep red colour with a fast living, tan coloured head. To the nose there are scents of juniper, soy sauce, brown sugar and a little cocoa. First swig was rich and not quite as full bodied as I remember. Flavours of roasted malts and coffee are the first to come to life. The finish is slightly bitter with roastyness lingering

On tap @ playwrights, 8th ave location, on Halloween. Dawns a delightful chestnut brown with fluffy beige head. Taste is sour citrus combined with sweet malts, earthy tones, and roasted hazelnut. Really, really good. Call me crazy but it’s near amazing for the style... just wish I saw more hops like DFH IBA

From dmac via trade. Poured cola-brown with a short, off-white head and spots of lacing. The aroma was roasted malts, light caramel and thin chocolate. The flavor was roasted malts and caramel and trended towards sour on the finish. Thin body. A wimpy finish for an otherwise serviceable beer.

Pours a dark chestnut brown color with slight mahogany edges when held to a light source and a thin half finger tan head that quickly fades into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Toasted nutty malt aroma with subtle dark fruit notes and slight earthy hops. Slightly watered down body with hints of toasted malt, hazelnut, chocolate maltiness, a slightly roasted toasty presence with subtle hops and a slightly dry finish. Very well balanced and easy drinking session beer.
