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.

A decent taste with a quick head that let way fairly quickly. A good balance of malt with the hops and a decent drinkability.

Had this on tap at MacNivens. Let down with the bar, let down with the brew. Thin, brown, watery. Not a terrible taste, just nothing outstanding. Could have had a bottle of this for much cheaper. Tastes about like Newcastle, Deep Cover, etc. Do yourself a favor and just get Rogue’s Hazelnut Necter if you want a good brown ale, this is just plain and boring.

Very smooth with a pretty good mix of malts and hops in both the flavor and aroma, pours a dark brown (no real surprise).

Dark brown, healthy head. Hoppy sharp aroma. A bit fizzy. Full malty slightly burnt taste. Decent brown bitter slightly sticky finish.

Bottle: Deep red/brown clear colour, with a nice head. Aroma was coffee,dark chocolate,caramel, som metalic nose is there to,and a nice citric ending. Flavor is coffee,dark choclate,som alcoholic mouth feeling.Light to medium body, and a medium finish. Nice brown ale! a bit higher alc, and it would get a higher score.

On Tap. Dark brown in color, but not the typical brown ale flavor. Instead, an excellent full-palate, smooth drinking beer. Tastes are very well balanced.
