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.

Dark brown with a nice light brown head, looks a little like coke... Sweet malty aroma, hops, some... earth? Am I fooled by the looks or can I feel the coke in aroma too? Taste is even sweeter and maltier, also with hops, a hint of burnt/roasted. Lasting aftertaste and thick in mouth. Not really a fantastic beer but I can definitely have more of this.

Bottle at Newark airport. Pours dark brownish/ruby red with a nutty head. Aroma is malty and barley, roasted and nutty. Taste caramel / malt, light coffee and nuts, roasted and lightly hoppy. Possibly my fav. Brooklyn beer so far.

On tap at Taps Wine and Beer Merchant (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark red-brown with two finger tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, bread, some spice, nuts. Flavor has notes of bready yeast, raisins, hops, and sweet malt. Light to medium body with a slight hoppy finish.

Very good brown ale. Sweet and smooth like honey but still with a good balance of hops. Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.

pours brown with small off-white head. aroma is earthy hops with some carmel and biscuit notes. same for the flavor. I wasn’t impressed, I usually like a good brown ale and this one seems to be well liked. I’ll have to try it again sometime.

Wow! Very nice. Lacing good. Head good. Chocolate color. Not complex. Best part is the flavor of chocolate and coffee that hits you on the back side. Next to now bitterness. Beautiful aroma of complex malts. Winner winner chicken dinner!

aroma is of light syrupy malt with a note of muddled chocolate and a touch of even booze. appearance is rolo tony brown town. flavor is of maple syrup and spice. diluted chocolate minus the sweetness. bitter and nearly acidic, and again the mysterious booze comes and goes.

355 ml bottle. Deep reddish brown colour, medium light beige head. Roasted malts, nuts and floral hops in the aroma. Roasted flavour with some chocolate and a bittersweet hoppy finish. Another tasty beer from Brooklyn Brewery.
