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 at Barely pub. Chesnut pour with a bit of offwhite head that dissipates. Aroma is of some caramel and sweet dark fruit. A bit of coffee as well. Mouth is sweet, caramel, some nutty malt and a bit of breadiness. Pretty nice.

351 mL bottle. Opaque chestnut brown with just a ring of head. Aroma of walnuts, brown sugar and oxo cubes. Flavour has . The flavour starts very full up front, before thinning out a little on the back end. It has burnt caramel, dates, nuts, and bready malt. Some bitterness in the finish, moreso than most brown ales. Good beer.

brown color, tiny tan bubbles for a head, some lace. aroma of malt, coffee, chocolate. flavor of chocolate, offset by mildly roasty malt and lightly bitter coffee. medium bosied, sweet finish. a typical brown ale, a touch too sweet. the more i drink, the more cloying the sweetness becomes. bottle @ newark airport renaissance hotel.

Bottle. Poured a muddy dark brown in color with a light brown head the disapated at an average pace. Aroma was that of coffee, chocolate and toasted malts.Tasted of coffee and chocolate with hint of hops the aftertaste being the same and lasting only a few seconds. Mouthfeel was smooth and creamy but slightly watery, a medium bodied brew. Overall a good brown al but I have had better.
