Sep 22, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of huge caramel malt with some toffee notes. Taste is also a mix between some very rich caramel malt with some notes of toffee and no major discernable presence of hops. Body is full with some average carbonation. The best-by date was April 2008 but still very drinkable and more enjoyable then I had expected.

Sep 19, 2008 One of the great examples of a brown ale. This beer has plenty of dark flavors and a medium body. In my mind a brown should be the gap between an amber ale and a stout. This beer falls right where it should.

Sep 17, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep brown with 2 cm of off-white head thats slowly diminishing. Aroma of malts, sugar, and nuts. Initial flavor malt and nuttiness. Flavor balances out and becomes hops based for a while. Medium body, light lacing, light carbonation, and limited alcohol presence. Overall, the best beer offered by Brooklyn, a great brown ale.

Sep 15, 2008 12oz bottle at my departmental picnic - thanks, John! Very solid, well-hopped brown beer. The body was clear, hints of ruby, appropriate carbonation and modest head. Very inviting nutty aroma wafts out, with additional hints of sweet candy. The body is nicely substantial, and again, the hopping that balances this out gives the brew a crispness that’s well suited to the flavors. Nice one.

Sep 14, 2008 On tap at The Yardhouse in Palm Beach. Nice brown pour with a very small head. Nutty, malty aroma is followed by a pretty damn decent flavor of malts, sweet nuts, caramel and maybe some vanilla. Nice carbonation and well balanced. Winner in a tough category!

Sep 9, 2008 My first Brooklyn, a huge suprise for me, pours near perfect with a thicker head , nice aroma, dark colour and sweet well balanced goodness. I’m quite impressed.
