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.

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

Clear brown, with a modest, creamy tan head. Nutty caramel aroma, with malt as well. Hoppier than the aroma would indicate. Sweet and finishes a bit long.

Rated 4/24/07: Nice amber-brown pour with a constant 1/2" tan head with mild lacing. Smooth aroma of rich toffee and brown sugar with a healthy yeastiness. Mouthfeel is lively and quenching, I like my browns to be thicker and creamier but this is still good. Flavor is much like the aroma only more intense with a solid nutty flavor that almost has a dry roasted quality. A touch of hops comes across at just the right time. Mild tastes of fresh coffee and milk chocolate, faint but noticeable. Quite complex flavor for a brown ale I rounded that up to a 9 for good show.

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.
