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 purchased at Sam’s Wine & Spirits, in Chicago. Pours a deep, clear mahogany with a creamy, rocky, beige head. The nose is a pleasant, roasty, nutty/chocolate aroma. Light to medium-bodied and creamy with a lightly bitter-hopped finish. Roasted, nutty malt with a nice complement of chocolate malt, the flavor finishes with an earthy hop finish and a lingering nutty aftertaste. One of the better brown ales that I’ve sampled, this is one that’s easy to recommend.

From bottle... poured mahogany with medium cream-colored head. Fantastic roasty, nutty aroma. Flavor was not very deep, but was decent. Finished smooth. Quite enjoyable.

12 oz. bottle. Pours reddish brown with a medium beige head. The aroma is moderately sweet, light nutty malt, a hint of floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet, some chocolate, roasted malt, lightly hoppy. Medium bodied. Slightly dry bitter finish.

12 oz bottle...poured cola colored w/ a cream colored head. The head was mostly lasting and provided soapy lacing to the last drop. The aroma were of chocolate, caramel, and toffee. The flavor was a mild sweetness with the aforementioned notes. The beer was light w/o being watery and had a mice bittersweet finish. Great brown ale that I could easily session...

Brown with a nice lacing head. Chocolate, malt and roast on the nose. Creamy and watery at the same time. A little yeasty and sour.

This brown ale is everything I want a brown ale to be. Pours a dark brown into the glass with nice sustaining head. Aroma is toasty and sweet. The flavor is spot on with a nice balance of roasted characteristics and sweetness. I am loving this beer!

Pours brown. Aroma is a lot of roasted malts, toffee, caramel, brown sugar. Taste is a lot of maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel, malt, with some nuts and a decent hop bite. This is they type of Brown Ale for those that aren’t a big fan of the style.
