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.

Bottle, Rainhall Drinks co, Barnoldswick. Dark reddy brown. Malty aroma and flavour balanced up with some well placed hops. Sweet caramel and nuts in there too. Solid and very drinkable fayre.

Wow, beautiful brown color with a touch of red. Mahogany just as the description says. Slightly chocolate bitter aftertaste almost like Mexican chocolate. Aroma is a roasted malt with a touch of molasses. A nice brew... Glad that it’s available in Texas now.

Ughsmash (5632) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 24, 2009
Bottled. Poured medium ambery-brown with a creamy cap of beige head. The aroma was sweet with caramel and nutty notes joined by touches of earth and brown sugar.. warmth brought out a dash of coffee. The flavor found dry, lightly-toasted caramel and nutty notes with light bitter accents of earth and grass.. tacky finish was semi-sweet and grainy. Light-medium bodied on the palate with and OK flow.. very drinkable but a little boring.

ansermadide (850) - Kyle, Texas, USA - JAN 24, 2009
UPDATED: MAY 9, 2010 Nearly solid, dense, pretty dark brown color with orange hues. Frothy light brown head, steady, slow carbonation. Roasted caramel aroma. In the mouth... crisp and a little hoppy. Kinda flat. Numbs the tongue a little for some reason. A solid beer... I’d buy this again.

Sweet sugar aroma. This is quite sweet. A bit tingly and nutty in the finish. Okay, but not great.

This is a good brown ale. brown pour with a decent head. Flavor leans to the malty side but has a decent hop balance. Definitely some nutty undertones as well and a smooth finish.

Bottle. Pours dark ruby brown with a medium off white head which is persistant. Aroma of malts, sugars and toasted something. Taste is malty with slight bitterness. Minor aftertaste. For my first Brooklyn, this was an amazing beer.

bhops (407) - Dallas, Texas, USA - JAN 17, 2009
bottle at Kirby’s steak house. Poured way too cold. Poured dark brown with fluffy head. Aroma of burnt malts and caramel. Not bad.. flavor is toasty with a little sweetness, hop finish.
