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.

Poured from a bottle. Will say that the bottle said best by January 2007 and I had it in June 2007, however, still a very good beer. Poured dark brown with a thin white head. Had a malty, nutty smell. Tasted of biscuity-malt. Also had hints of chocolate, nuts and caramel. If this bottle is past its prime, I would love to have one that is not.

The aroma has caramel, biscuits, hops, yeast, and chocolate. The appearance is red/brown with a foamy head. The flavor is a little underwhelming, it’s not bad but the bitterness dominates the roasted sweet caramel goodness that the style needs. The palate is smooth. Overall a nice beer.

[Sampled at Dexter.] Maybe my favorite of the "normal" brown ales. Full of ingredients, hops, spices, coffee, fruit, complex, bitterness and a long nice time lasts it to swallow this nice brew!

Very good brew. Dark brown in color with scents of coffee, hops, malt, and caramel. Very smooth mouth feel. Tastes of chocolate, coffee, hops, malt and has a very silky finish to it. Excellent beer.

very dark amber color. quick dissipating head. Wow, this is very hoppy with a slight caramel to it. The malt comes through in the flavour with a big hop jolt in the finish, a very solid brown ale.

Appearance: Dark red-brown body with a tan head that disappeared almost instantly. Smell: A nearly nonexistent aroma of chocolate and cherries. Taste: Indistinct, weak tastes of chocolate and coffee with traces of bitterness leading into a dry finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Slightly watery. Drinkability: Very average. Far too bland and ordinary for me to seek out again in the future.

Coffe brown with an appetizing fragrance. Refreshing flavors with a lot of aroma. Slightly sweet, lingering mouth feel. Nice!
