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.

Sweet and malty aroma. Flavor is malty with a bitter finish (very very slight rubber band flavor at the finish). Highly carbonated. Dark amber in color.

This is another very solid brown ale. A little on the dark side for a brown ale, but good flavor and texture make it a great 1st beer.

very complex, but a bit over-bearing, love the aroma created by the dry-hopping

A decent dark beer that does a good job of mixing coffee and chocolate flavors. Excellent cost-quality ratio.

I was pleased with this beer. Dark with a nice mild chocolate that is hidden a bit by the hops. Good head and nice lace on it. Good stuff and one that I will have when the opportunity arises.

I had this a couple months after the reccomended date on the bottle, I dont know how much that matters. Has a nice malty aroma but its a little weak. The flavor is similar, has some good hints of flavor, but as a whole its rather weak and plain.

A gem in the hell hole that is Lewisburg PA and the Shangri-La camp site. rich malty aroma, burgundy color, incredibly complex malt taste. hops work brilliantly. One of the best browns I can think of. I got so excited about this beer that i passed out with a pizza box on top of me.

This beer tasted OK at best. I didn’t think there was heavy hopping for aroma or flavor at all. Could have used a maltier mouthfeel and taste to match the aroma. Still a drinkable brew - it grew on me as I went through a six pack over a week or so.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had this... and I was at a great Jazz show in NYC, but I believe the beer was good too. Slight metallic taste was hidden by hops and malt. Pretty decent.
