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.

Thick but shortlived foam. Deep red-brown color. Nice chokolate aroma with some american hops. The taste is very smooth with malts and chocolats without too much bitterness. Beeing a judge in the Swedish home browing competition in this class 2 years ago I think that this is among the smothest browns I’ve had. Defenetly worth drinking.

Reviewed 1/29/2009 (bottle BB Jan 2009): Pours a dark rich colored body with a small creamy tan colored head. Has an aroma of hoppiness, and some sweetness. Has a creamy nutty taste. Some lager taste. Some alcohol. Eh, not a fan. Carbonated.

Dark brown in color with good red hightlights. Decent beiged colored head. The smell is caramel, malts, sugary, sort of basic. The taste is light roast, malts, some sweetness.

Bottle, given to me by my brother. He swears by this stuff. Beautiful brownish-red color with a beige head. Aroma is sweet with noticable hops. Nice body, slightly bitter. Good.

From a 12oz bottle. Pours a hazy dark chestnut with a large, fizzy beige head. Overly sweet aroma, with brown sugar, malt, some caramel. Flavor is better, as the sweet quality is rounded out slightly by a little bit a dry finish. Slightly roasty, nutty, pretty nice.

Bottle, $1.50. Pours dark amber and brown with a nice fluffy head. Features a nutty aroma with accented esters and caramel malt. Mouthfeel is rather light, but about average for the style, and finish is clean. Flavor is subtly sweet, drawing on the rich malt presence, though the hops and toasty flavors keep this beer balanced and flavorful. A decent, well-blended effort by a solid brewery.
