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.

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.

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.

Pours a dark brown colour with some ruby red when you hold it to the light and no head. Aroma of carmalized malts with notes of chocolate. Flavour is lighter then expected, sweet malty base, and a bitter/sour finish, a bit thin. Not very interesting, but not bad. I think I expected more from this beer, the the brooklyn lager was awsome.

Pours a ruby brown color with a small offwhite head. Nose of citrus hops, roasted malts, chocolate, and caramel. Initial taste is chocolate, roasty, and sweet. Body is thin. Palate finished mildly bitter with a lingering chocolate. Some head retention, no lacing of the glass.
