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.

Tried a sample at Brewfest Tallahassee. A hint of roasted coffee but mainly sweet caramel and toffee.

12oz - Nose is somewhere between nuts and sawdust. Good color, not much head or carbonation. A little on the sweet side, with some roasted notes. A good representative of the style.

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.
