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.

Pours a nice medium ruby brown color with a small off-white head, slowly subsides. Aroma is surprizing. I think fuggle with some citrus. Light bodied but the malt sweetness does come out in the taste but not much as the hops are the main player here. does remind me of other Brooklyn beers but this is a nice original brown.

has a smell of gewürztraminer like the brooklyn lager but here the smell is not so discrete but seems me a bit artificial, some hops and malt too in the taste the same notes aftertaste bittersweet and that a bit artificial seeming note stronger than brooklyn lager, but not better

Thin, weak brown color. Heavy malt aroma with hints of rubbing alcohol in the smell. Malty, slightly medicinal flavor. Not great, not horrible, just highly average. Very watery palate.

Definitely creamy in texture; tastes nice but was replacing a Tilburg’s and was not that pleased with it; definite hoppy taste with a little aftertaste that is OK; not bad.

Pours a very dark brown with a tanish head. Looks like a cola in the glass. Aroma is very sweet and malty. Very nice aroma. Taste is thin, watery and way too sweet. Tastes like candy. It needs more malt flavor.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. A clear, brown color resembling iced tea with fine, tan head. Aroma is very sweet and nutty. Thin body with a soft, dry texture. Flavor is sweet caramel with very little hops and some funky tartness. Its a bit weird, but I kinda like it.

Draught into pint glass. Dark brown colour with a small tan head that quickly disapperead. Aroma was all caramel. Flavour was pleasant but maybe a bit sour in the finish although balanced with some nutty tones too.
