Brooklyn Brown Ale

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Poured a nice bronze/amber color - dark. The head was good but it went away pretty fast. The smell is a bit chocolate, with a little nut and carmel. First taste is nice and full but it falls off a bit as it goes on. All in all a nice brown for someone who doesn’t quite love Browns.

The aroma was estery with a toasty caramel presence and a bit of a chocolate nature. As it warmed the esters really increased. The beer arrived crystal clear dark brown with an off-white frothy head which laced the glass. The flavor was estery, at a moderate level, with a toasty and lightly biscuity note and some low presence of chocolate coupled to the fruit. The finish was dry with a lasting toasty caramel and fruit flavor into the aftertaste. The body was just below medium with a low level of carbonation. Just an ok beer. Pint at Moosehead Grill in Charlotte.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with an off-white head. Refreshing aroma with toffee, some roasted malts and some hops.The mouthfeel was somewhat watery and just a hint of sourness. Taste is some roasted malts, toffee and molasses. The finish is dry, a little salty and with some hops. A bit too thin-bodied.

Bottle. Bought a six pack for Mama Chuch in Allenhust. Nice pour. Dark brown almost black apperance.Tan Head. Aroma of malt and hops. Real;y wasn’t consintrading on it. Flavor was mild. Malt, coffee. chocolate, nuts and some hops at the end. Boring. But decent for a brown ale I guess. DFH blows this flavor away. Update: Enjoy this beer much more now. I love the malt and caramel and the hops balance it out so nicely. Not to heavy or thin has a great feel to it. 3.4 to a 3.7

boo to brown ales, except on the rare occasion. just lacking really, light malt, light hops, dog soaked in beer. enough said for me.

Bottle. Reddish brown color with a small beige head. Aroma: Sweet and lightly roasted, caramel, plums and nuts. Flavor: Sweet, lightly roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, caramel, rye bread, nuts, dark fruit, alcohol and some hop bitterness. Dry mouthfeel.

Cask @ ATL Cask Ale Fest ’08. Very disappointed with this beer. Thin mouthfeel and pretty boring.

Poured a very dark brown with an off-white head. Aroma of chocolate malts. Taste is chocolaty with nuts. I’d say it is sweeter than most brown ales I’ve tried. The flavor is overall pretty one-dimensional however.
