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.

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.

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
