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 clearish brown with a thin offwhite head, no lace. Smells light and nutty. Tastes nutty and sweet, slightly metallic. Thin body, good carbonation.

Pours with a nice ample head. Mildly sweet with a light hop hit. Decent brown ale but I enjoy Dogfish head’s hoppier version...

I was pretty surprised when I poured this out, for a brown ale this has the color and taste of a porter. I can definitely notice the coffee in this ale, but as a previous review suggested, this is lighter than it looks. I’m typically not a fan of Brown Ales, but I’ll definitely come back to this one.

Bottle thanks to Dmac. Pours out a nice somewhat clear light brown color with a fading white head. Aroma is of sweet malts, light chocolate and a note of bitterness. Taste is well balanced, sweet malt notes, light chocolate, and a little bitterness hanging in there also. Overall an enjoyable brown ale.

pours a brownish/maroonish color with a head that becomes nonexistent in a few seconds. smells of chocolate, almonds, and a little spice. tastes pretty much the same. this is a consistent beer. i highly recommend.

On tap at Hidive. Pour is clear light brown with a small white head. Aroma is malty, sweet and lightly hoppy. Flavor is light malt, toffee, and a crisp hop finish. Nice, could drink a few of these. The crisp hoppy finish saves it for me, otherwise I think it would have been unbalanced.

The great pretender. The English brown basterdized by American brewers. Now despite this attempt to shamelessly Americanize a classic English style I must say that it was pretty good. Sharp hoppy aroma, nice brown colour, some chocolate flavour slightly bitter. Like I said, not bad, but I like my English ale made with English hoppy and yeast.
