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.

Pours a dark mahogany color with a small tope head. Nose: caramel, chocolate, roasted malt that smells a bit stale. Taste: Is watery burnt coffee. Actually kind of gross.

Draft: pours a dark brown with a thin tan head, aroma of malt, caramel, taste is malty with some chocolate, pretty bitter as well - I was surprised to see such a hop presence in this.

bottle courtesy of Hopscotch. pours a deep brown with a wonderful thick tan head... lots of nice aromas... some coffee, caramel, and burnt roasted malts... medium body ... more bitter up front, while deep and roasty towards the back... some plum and chocolate cherries linger as well... especially through the finish. nice brown ale.

I really liked this beer for a brown ale. Lots of caramel and maltyness. All maltyness actually. Rich with nutty flavors, dark, and not one dimensional.
