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.

This is a fine brown ale. One of my favorite beers to have when I go out. Nice nuttyness and dark caramel. Very low sweetness and nice nutty malt finish.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Bottle. Dark reddish-brown color with a white head. Chocolate and roasted malt aroma with a fruity kick. The flavor has a slight resemblance with the Brooklyn East India Pale Ale probably because of the heavy hopping, but the coffee flavor does stick out to give it the brown ale character. Hoppy palate, which is quite exceptional.

From bottle : Pours a very dark brown, boarderline black, with a finger of offwhite head. Hops are the first thing that i get a whiff of, along with a little bit of chocolate, and some fruit. Palate is medium bodied. Flavor is malty in the beginning then quickly turns to hops, a little bit of roastedness in the ending. Not very brown ale-ey for me, doesnt have enough of the familiar roastedness and chocolate.

A very malty brew. The hops and the esters combine to produce and clean, crisp brew with a creamy palate. At its usual price, it’s a very good deal.

12oz. bottle - pours very dark brown. Looks almost black sitting on a table, but is a deep and rich brown when it catches the light. Medium mocha head that leaves web-like lacing in the glass. Chocolate, nuts and dark fruit in the aroma with some easily detectable hoppiness. Flavour is sweet and malty with hops coming forward in the finish with brown sugar and fruit dominate, with a mild bitter roastiness in the long finish. Aftertaste of earthy hops. Quite nice. Very drinkable and smooth in the mouth.

12 Oz Bottle. Bland brown sugar and maltose aroma. Bits of Nutella and creamed chocolate sauce. Pours a flaccid, ruddy brown. Thin rim in off-white. Flavor is surprisingly even less interesting than the aroma. Plain sugars, light ester, bits of hop. Seemingly overattenuated, leaving no room for nut or chocolate to play on a bed of good sugars or whistling alcohols. Dry with an herbal hop smack, extremely faint. This is a really boring beer. Yeah, it’s clean, yeah, it’s dry, but yeah, it’s totally forgettable.
