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.

Bottle. Brown color (duh!). Nutty aroma, fairly straightfoward malt and nutty taste, with a sligth chocolate note. No malty sweetness, just a straightforward nutty flavor. I had a slight old bottle, so it might have been a little tired.

Brown, copper-ish colour.Thin head. Fruity, citric slight hoppy nose. Malty, somewhat toasted flavour with a decent bitterness in finish.

12 oz bottle poured into a shaker. Poured a dark mahogany color with a two finger tan head. Flavor was of sweet malt, nuts and smoke. Flavor was slightly nutty with malt dominating. A slight hoppy bite on the end. Medium bodied with good carbonation. My only knock on this beer is that it is slightly too light.

(Bottle). Sweet malty aroma. Dark reddish brown color, small tan head. Flavor has some nuts and sweetness, with smokiness in the finish. Hops give it some bite, but overall the mouthfeel is a little thin. Still, a good one.

Cheers Joe Mcphee for this one. Smoked, caramel, heavenly sweet and malty aroma. Great slight off white head. Nutty flavour, slick flavoursome ale. Well balanced, little bit of liquorice, perfect bitterness. Roasted malt. Great rich flavour, maybe a little to rich for my taste but makes out to be one of my favourite Brown ales. Lovely.

Aroma is full of dark malts, chocolate most present. It’s color is dark brown, with a thin white head. It’s flavor is balanced with hops and dark malts. It’s chocolate characters are the most noticable. It’s a great session, with lots of flavor. Very good.

Aroma of chocolate. Very creamy pour. Goes down like most brown ales, very smooth and refreshing without being like water. Why doesn’t everyone love brown ales? They reign supreme

Aroma of caramel and toffee. Tastes like roasted nuts a bit of coffee plus hops. Very smooth and drinkable.
