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 the bottle, it had a medium head with a malty aroma. The taste was a bit bitter for the initial few drinks but had an overall pleasant caramel flavor. I’ll have to try another.

Delicious caramel and chocoalte aroma. Pours clear brown, between a tea and cola hue, with a light brown head. Glass coating from start to finish. Moderately strong hop taste with walnut and charred oak notes. Finishes with nice hops but a rather unpleasant tinny taste. This a complete beer. I’m thoroughly pleased.

An amusing little brown ale, with a bit of chocolate and caramel in the nose, which comes forward on the tongue. Balanced out by a mildly hoppy finish, this is a tad sweet for a daily drinker, but not a bad brew at all.

Dark red-brown. Begie small head. Aroma is from nuts, apple, burnt malt. The taste is bitter dry malty with nuts.

Bottle: a brown red pour with a off-white foamy head, faint chocolate, roasted malt with caramel aromas with sweetness inter-mingled, sweet malt taste with a hop bite to balance, hops make this drink bubbly, leaves a good clean finish and are prominent in this beer, some bread and chocolate flavors, easy to drink.

Bottle from Total Wine in Huntersville NC. Pours a dark brown with a very slight white head that rapidly disappears. Aroma is a touch of malts and cocoa; taste if the same. Nothing too thrilling about this brown ale. Meh.
