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.

Draught @ Headkeeper: This one pours a fairly clear, darker brown color. There was only a wisp of a tan head on mine and it left no lacing. Nice nose. Mainly caramel malts, with a hint of chocolate and plum. The taste is very good. Caramel malts, a hint of fruit (plum?), with a faint sweetness. Nice.

Brown with red hues. Aroma full of roasted and toasted malt, caramel, brown sugar. Taste is sweet brown sugar, toasted malt, and residual roasted malt and biscuit. Mild hopping. Great presence and well-rounded carbonation.

Full bodied and leaning towards the malty side of things. Hints of chocolate and coffee with a nice finish.

Bottle from mybrewerytap.com. Dark brown colour, reasonable head. Malty aroma. Strong dry malty flavour. Bitter aftertaste. Not my thing.

Bottle - Pours mahogany. Medium sized tan head. Mild chocolate aroma as it warms. Flavor of chocolate followed by nuts. Lots of maltiness. Good body, not thin at all. Overall a very nice brown. Pretty impressed with this one even though the bottle is a little old. would like to try it fresh.
