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.

Flaske. Rigtig god duft i en flot mørkebrun øl, med et fint skum. Dejligt velhumlet med en lettere brændt smag.

Very nice brown ale. Poured nice ruby brown color with nice head and lacing. This isn’t advertised as a Nut Brown, but tasted nuttier than most nut browns. Maybe I’m crazy. Sweet aftertaste with a nice hop balance. I’d definitely have this again.

From a twelve ounce bottle purchased at "Bigg’s" supermarket - this one pours a very dark brown brew with a tall tan head of foam and a very faint malty aroma. Tastewise, it’s quite nice, though a tad on the sweet side.

On tap at the Clarke Street Ale House. Brown and nutty beer. Sweet with a very smooth chocolate, smoky and woody aftertaste. Complex and nice, solid flavour through and through.

Warm, dark-brown in color with a beige head that settles into a thin layer of foam. A fruity (raisins) slightly chocolaty aroma with hints of molasses, almonds and caramel. Nicely acidic but still smooth to the palate. The flavour is slightly acidic with a bit of sweetness. Lightly bitter. Molasses and frutiness is there. Aroma promised more than the flavour could live up to. Still, this is a nice and refreshing beer, with a nice dry aftertaste.

Oh, this is right up there with the best brown ale’s I’ve had. The total package, delicious aroma, and a nutty flavor that delivers. Will definitely seek this one out again.

This beer impressed. Pours a nice dark brown with caramel highlights. Aroma is a mix of malts, chocolate, and fruit. Taste is a healthy combination of malts, chocolate, nuts and maybe caramel.
