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.

Bottled. Poured medium ambery-brown with a creamy cap of beige head. The aroma was sweet with caramel and nutty notes joined by touches of earth and brown sugar.. warmth brought out a dash of coffee. The flavor found dry, lightly-toasted caramel and nutty notes with light bitter accents of earth and grass.. tacky finish was semi-sweet and grainy. Light-medium bodied on the palate with and OK flow.. very drinkable but a little boring.

Sample from January 24, 2009 Beer Club meeting. Nearly solid, cloudy, pretty dark brown color with orange hues. Fine head, steady, but slow carbonation. Roasted caramel aroma. In the mouth... crisp and a little hoppy. Numbs the tongue a little for some reason. A solid beer... I’d buy this!

Sweet sugar aroma. This is quite sweet. A bit tingly and nutty in the finish. Okay, but not great.

This is a good brown ale. brown pour with a decent head. Flavor leans to the malty side but has a decent hop balance. Definitely some nutty undertones as well and a smooth finish.

Bottle. Pours dark ruby brown with a medium off white head which is persistant. Aroma of malts, sugars and toasted something. Taste is malty with slight bitterness. Minor aftertaste. For my first Brooklyn, this was an amazing beer.

bottle at Kirby’s steak house. Poured way too cold. Poured dark brown with fluffy head. Aroma of burnt malts and caramel. Not bad.. flavor is toasty with a little sweetness, hop finish.
