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.

Pretty Good. Had this while I was in NY. I thought the sting on the back end was a bit suprising though. Not my favorite, but naot bad either.

33 cl bottle - Dark brown almost opaque beer with a beige colored head. Aroma is highly malty, roasted ones, with hints of nuts. Flavor is again malty and somehwat sour or acidic, with strong notes of hops. Not a favorite brown ale really. A bit too sour.

Pours a nice dark ruby/brown with a tan head. Rather subdued nose of roasted malts and nuts. The flavor is similar, roasted chocolate malts, with hints of nuts and coffee. Nice smooth and sticky palate, an overall very good beer.

Pours like a cola. Dark brown at the bottom and gets lighter and more carbonated as it moves to the top. Nice creamy head. Very elegant. Smells like toffee and coffee rolled into a chocolate hop hug. The flavor is a wonderful balance of acidity, chocolate, and caramel. Sooo tasty. Palate is a bit thin. It’s not too complex but it’s a wonderful beer to drink at anytime of the morning, mid afternoon, and evening.

Poured with very little head and couldn’t get much aroma (probably too cold). However, the color was a very rich brown with a hint of orange (is that mahogany?) Taste was nice...hints of roast and chocolate. Had a nice hop overtone. Overall solid brown ale.

Bottle. Pours a light brown body with an off white head. Aroma is malty, chocolate, sweet, bitter. Flavor is bittersweet and has a creamy texture. Just not much to it.
