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.

Pretty mahogany color. Coffee and roasted aroma. Taste is toasty and chocolaty. Some bittering malts are present on the finish. Surprisingly a good brown ale, nice and balanced.

On tap at mellow mushroom with curly. Clear dark brown with near white head. Weak toffee aroma. Flavor is nutty, toffee, and toasty. Slight alcohol burn on nose and tail end. Good session beer though.

On ta at the brwery. Pours a dark amber color with a trim tan head. Smells of toasted malts and faint caramel. Tastes of each, with an added note of green apples. Very approachable.

A little metallic throughout for me. Makes the back of my throat tense up something rotten. It has some nice flavours but this brings it down for me. Nice and light, could be something quite special if it wasn’t for the metallic tinge.

Pours deep brown with tan head. Toasted malt aroma, caramel and hops. Flavors of caramel and chocolate with mild hoppiness. Medium body with average carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel.

This is a tasty brew with a complex palate. Somewhat hoppy, but with very hard to pinpoint notes of other unusual tastes of chocolate, black malts, with fruit(s), etc. Probably the best beer of the night.

Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle upon Tyne. The intense hoppiness of this beautiful, chocolate brown beer hit me immediately, along with the citrusy tang of grapefruit, in the taste. Chocolate creeps in, mid-drink and the citrus becomes reasonably predominant. The head poured thick and off-white. I’ve had this before I started doing ratings and had forgotten how good it was. Three of their bottled beers are regularly available here in the UK, wish there was more. Truly excellent.

Bottle. Body-very dark brown with a touch of very thick ring of bubbles. Fresh tobacco, leather, smells like a Brown Ale. Wow. Brown Ale. American Amber and Brown Ales-two styles that should be done away with for the common good of man. Taste-better than the nose, cinnamon, mace, chewing tobacco, chestnuts, dry barn flavor, a very slight hint of baker’s chocolate, lemon/lime. Good for a Brown Ale, but that isn’t exactly a compliment.
