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.

Dark ruby red in color with a thin white head. Aroma of chocolate, malts and a hint of caramel. Initial tast was malty and carbonated but finishes smooth bitter taste. Good ale.

Nut brown color, off white head. Sweet aroma with a touch of fruit and roast. Sweet with a slight bitter twang. Good brown ale.

This is a very deep and dark brown ale. It pours saddle brown and shows a decent head. It has notes of caramel and chocolate on both the nose and the palate. It finished quite nice as well!

Bought 35.5cl bottle in Denmark (looks like it was labelled specifcally for the Danish market at the Brooklyn Brewery), drank in tulip glass at home in Ireland. One finger head on the pour that didn’t stick around too long. Color was a nice light brown. Smelled a bit of chocolate and coffee and a bit sweet, but not overpowering and definitely pleasant, what I was expecting from this brown ale. Tasted a bit malty to start off with-then some chocolate and hops taste came in, but not too strong-a bit sweet even. Went down smooth and tasted great all of the way through. I have heard good things about this beer and would say that they were all confirmed in this bottle-definitely a beer that I would look forward to drinking agin. When will they distribute directly to Ireland?

Bottle at home. Ruby brown with almost no head. Faint metallic aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Watery feel with sweet flavour of coffee and cola, rounded off with some bitterness.

Clear brown color, short brown head. Aroma of hop, some roasted malt and coffee, but very faint. Slight bitter taste, coffee and licorice. Average beer.

A fudge-like aroma. Very slight sweetness. Full mouthfeel. Cola, brown sugar, and chocolate flavors. Finishes solidly.
