Brooklyn Brown Ale

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

nice amber brown color, good head, malty and sweet, some nutts, well done, love brooklyn!!!

Reddish brown, thin tan head. Toasty, dark bread aroma, but very faint. Pumpernickle bread flavor, with a sweet, brown sugar or molasses note. Perhaps atouch of bourbon, too.

Draft...extremely watery and bland. Some malt flavor. Perhaps it was the tap but this left a lot to be desired. My least favorite of Brooklyn thus far.

Not a bad brown. Full bodied and smooth, but there is something lacking in the finish (maybe too smooth?).

draft at clark street a few nights ago. dark brown but enough translucence to see light around edges. so, not very dark. smells like water and some beer. a little brown ale in there i guess. very subdued. some chocolate and nuttiness in taste, but more surprising was some underlying sourness. this is pretty far from the GI brown ales i’ve always considered the most generic. is something wrong? not bad though, i kinda enjoy it. my friend later told me there is something funky about this beer usually.

Bottle. Has a great crisp brown quality with amber hues and a moderate off white head. The aroma is noticeable right away - sweet fruit punch mixes with weaker coffee malts and nuts for a good blend, some grass funkiness later. Flavor is robust with a good complex mix - starts sweet with cherry notes followed by the arrival of coffee malts and a moderate bitter finish with caramel flavor hanging around also. Good taste and easy feel makes it quite refreshing.

Very good brown ale. Dark and rusty, with a good light brown head. Nose is very chocolaty, some roasted oats in there as well. Taste some chocolate, slight coffee, very nutty. A bit sweet for the style (and the season, my fault!), but enjoyable nonetheless.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Pours deep dark brown. Heavy malts, chocolate, nutty, sweet. good brown ale
