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.

Had this on tap in Little Italy, NYC. Not much aroma but nice deep red-brown color. No head. Tasted hoppy with caramel but a light mouthfeel. F Avey---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

maekchu (1124) - Hirakata, JAPAN - FEB 25, 2013
Bottle from Village Wine & Spirits in Athens. Good mild chocolate nose, along with some yeast. Very dark clear brown, 1-2cm tan head. Mild chocolate initial / touch of bitterness and something a little sourish, too / finishes very quickly. Thin and fizzy in mid palate. A slightly spritzy take on the style. A touch tangy, too. Maybe a little bit of oxidation (though it’s a couple of months from its drink-by date). Okay.

Bamsen78 (1035) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - FEB 20, 2013
Bottle. Pours hazy copper brown with stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt, caramel, hops and fruit. Creamy, slightly roasted and bitter taste, finishing on a coffeelike note. Dry, rough aftertaste. A nice one.

solidfunk (1918) - Ontario, CANADA - FEB 16, 2013
Pretty average all around. Malty without much hops in aroma. Average carbonation. Slick and slightly sticky consistency. Aftertaste has light sourness and bitterness but not very interesting. Pours dark copper. Bottle from Smoke it Here.

One of the best brown ales I ever had. The aroma and taste remember some citric fruits. The body density is very fair and the foam last forever. I couldn?t tell any coffee in the aroma nor taste as some others did.

Dobre piwo. Ciemno brązowe ale. Z trwałą pianką, karmelowo-czekoladowym smakiem i wytrawnym, biszkoptowym finiszem. Wysycenie średnie.
