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.

GT2 (3440) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 5, 2009
330 mL. Pours a clear reddish brown with a small head that settles to a thin film. Mid to low carbonation. Not much lacing. Aroma of malt and burnt sugar. Taste is quite impressive. Start bubbly with some hazelnut and caramel but ends with some spicy hops. Watery mouthfeel. Long, watery finish.

Dacrza (302) - Great Meadows, New Jersey, USA - JAN 2, 2009
Light black (!) body with thick brown two-finger head that softens nicely into the glass... malty presence undeniable... sugars tantalize while the hops balance nicely at the nose... smooth, almost perfectly "brown" in its presence, with the liquidity of a stout and the hop body of a pale ale--easily drinkable... sugary impressions early, with some chocolate, smoky something (?) and toffee to sweeten the deal... satisfying--especially on a snowday nightcap--with the smoothness of a Newcastle and a flavor that sets BBA a step above Sam Adams et al....

pivnizub (7022) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - DEC 30, 2008
Bottle. Clear, chestnut-amber coloured, small beige head with a little lace. Fruity-chocolatey nose with subtle influences of toasted malt. Moderate bitter-sourish flavour, medium bodied. Lingering fruity and toasted finish with a light bitterness. Pleasant, well crafted stuff.......

oteyj (1753) - Washington DC, USA - DEC 23, 2008
Pours dark brown with nice head. Aroma is slightly roasty caramel and some dark sugary aromas. Flavor is rich and roasty with nice sweet malt aspects as well as decent hop biterness. Palate is full for the style. An enjoyable brew.
