2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark golden color. Aroma is of malts, licorice, and some slight hops. Flavor is of malts, brown sugar, molasses, and some roasty flavors. Has a malty aftertaste. More of a session style brown ale.
1.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Pours a dark purple with a thick brown head. It has a faint aroma of sweet, sugary malt but no discernable hops. The taste is like sugar-water. I could not taste the malt at all really, only sugar. There were also no hops detectable in the taste. Overall, this is a very disappointing beer, and I’d drink Budweiser before buying this beer again.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle from Orland Park Binny’s single rack. Pours reddish brown with tan head. Aromas of malt, caramel and nuts. Flavors of malt, caramel, nuts, and light chocolate. While not overly complex, it is a very drinkable brown ale. Not to bad.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Systembolaget. Sweet malty aroma. Dark reddish brown beer with white head. Tastes surypy malty, quite one dimensional. A bit watery mouthfeel, light/medium body.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle courtesy of thecarster1.
Pours a deep clear copper with a huge creamy off-white head that shows excellent retention as a cap for ages.
The aroma is pretty bland for a brown with a ton of sweet chocolate malts and some nuts. Maybe some sweet fruits as well.
The taste is more of the same with some faint chocolate malts forming a backbone underneath some lightly toasted nuts. The finish is where it gets a little dodgy as there is a metallic bitterness that limits the drinkability a bit.
The mouthfeel is a little light for me, almost watery, with too much carbonation for my liking.
This is another decent but not overly impressive member of Brooklyn year-round lineup.

355 ml bottle. From Malmö, Sweden.
Dark reddish brown colour with small sand head.
Some sugar and caramel sweetness in Brooklyn hoppy aroma.
Hoppy and sweet flavour with lots of Brooklyn signature taste.
Roasted malt in flavour too.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
A really underrated brown ale. Pours dark brown with a coffee colored head. Coffee, caramel, toffee in the nose. Flavor matches the nose and is perfectly balances between bitter and sweet. Hazelnuts & roasted chestnuts. Nice American version of Samuel Smiths Nut Brown ale.
