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.

Poured a hazy borwn color with a thin white head. Had a faint aroma of caramel, some malts, and a little bit of nuts and roastiness. The flavor was pretty bland with some hints of nuts and roastiness with a slight bitterness on the backend. The body was a little thin as well. There wasn’t much to this one, probably my least favorite of this style.

Mahogany color. Decent head and lacing. Aroma is a malty sweetness with some hoppiness. Flavor is a very nice balance between sweet and hoppiness. Has a decent mouthfeel without any astringency I often find in brown ales. A very good beer that is inexpensive. This might just become one of my standard session beers.

Pours dark brown with a small long lasting head. Smells like roasted malt with a tad of coffee and cocoa. Tastes like sweet roasted malt with some soy added in. Finish is strong with roasted malt and it lasts a while.

Pours clear deep dark amber with lasting tan foam ring. The light aroma is roasty with sweet notes floating around. The taste is nice and roasty with just noticeable astringency that may be a tad too light for the style. The roasty malts become richer tasting toward the finish as a nice caramel note surfaces. It ends with mild roasted malts. Nice Brown.

Quoted "rich mahogany look" before looking at the beer’s description. Smell of nuts, chocolate, some coffee. Reminds me of a flag football game on Thanksgiving Weekend.

12 oz. bottle. Pours brown with an amber/red hue, foamy beige head. Sweet nose, caramel and molasses, Some chocolate in there too. Big malty taste, caramel and a hint of brown sugar, some sweet citrus. Very little bitterness, but just enough for balance. Great, sweet brown ale.
