Brooklyn Brown Ale

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

On tap. Complex aroma and flavor: rich, malty, with a little roast...a fair amount of the sort of very coarse, dark, grainy malt that hovers just on the border of being sour without actually being sour. Not very sweet, fairly bitter. This was one of the best brown ales I have ever had, and one of the best beers I’ve ever had. I continue to be impressed with what Brooklyn Brewery has to offer.

Brown/chestnut with decent head. A bit hoppy for a brown ale with kicks of roasted coffee, chocolate and nuts. Creamily bodied and robust this brew has a piney, floral fortitufe belying its lingering sweetness. Not bad, but certainly not the best brown out there.

Draught at Stout NYC (Manhattan - NY).
Clear brown color with good and abundant head even if of fast passing. Sweetish and decidedly dry aroma with notes of dried malt and sweetens cereals. Round and soft taste with an overbearing bitter only manifested on the end. Good persistence with woody and burned resin aromas.

Pours a dark, dark amber rather than brown, with a minimal head and a tiny bit of lacing. Very faint medium-biscuit aroma, like a digestive cookie. Excellent flavour - nutty and rich and sweet without being so sweet as to require heaps of hops. Sadly, the lack of hops affords this beer only the briefest of an aftertaste. The carbonation doesn’t assert itself until after you’ve sipped, at which point you get a nice creamy body as you swallow. A bit thin. This is an excellent brown but it needs a bit of attention, and is probably much better on-tap.

brown red. small head. smells hoppy with malts and other sweet scents. tastes a little better than new castle. Not as roasted as i like. Alright brown ale.

bottle. Dark reddish color, light brown head, aroma of hops and nuts. tasty, hint of chocolate in the finish along with the hops

One of very good brown ales available - I also really love that they include this with their variety cases. A fine hoppy brown ale. One of my favorites.

12 oz. bottle: Pours a mahogany brown with a thin light brown head that diminishes quickly. Malty aroma has hints of chocolate and caramel. Roasty flavor brings out the coffee and chocolate with a creamy texture and smooth finish. Nice hop balance and delicious.
