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.

Rich color and aroma of nuts, malt. Slightly heavy, good malt and nut flavors. Simple, but easy to drink and good-tasting. A good example of the style.

Beer pours a dark brown with a tall two-inch cap that sounds like rice crispies and huge bubble creators are being formed on the top of this giant cap, the cap lasted about half the brew. Aroma is nice and hoppy combined with fresh baked cookies and some vanilla. Aroma is ok fairly complex but a little sweet for my liking. Flavor is over all sweet to sweet in fact there is a nice hop presence combined with sweet rich malts and touch of coffee and some chocolate in the finish. Nice bold flavor but still some how is easy drinking and crisp. Taste is nice and complex and has a clean finish tons of flavor and you can still slam it. Review done while watching Seinfeld.

Pours dark brown with copper edges with a creamy beige head. Aroma is caramel or molasses, Choc. and nut. Smooth and creamy, this beer is very well balanced with the hop and nuttiness of a brown ale and has a nice roast finish. Very good I think.

Nice brown ale. Flavour of nuts, chocoloate and malt. A touch fizzy but certainly an enjoyable beer.

Aroma of vanilla. Balanced dark malt character with a delightfully sweet finish. If I had to complain at all, I’d say it reminds a little of flat Pepsi.

Pours an off-white, almost beige head with legs and a copper ruby body. Smells of brown sugar, some toast, and a hint of sourness. Flavor is the same. Good balance with a slightly dry finish.
