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.

12oz bottle. Deep dark blood ruby hue. Clear body. Nice malty nose. Sweet cinnamon bread and molasses aromas. Medium bodied and lively. Initially sweet with a cola sugary pruney flavor. Smooth and sticky. Caramel and syrup with a slight bready flavor. Finish holds a touch of citrus fruity tart hops to play against the smooth malts. Nice dichotomy. The palate is melded and layered. Nicely integrated.

Bottle at the White Horse, 12th July 2008 with renffisch. Pours a solid mahogany colour with a strong aroma of typically American hops and malts. It’s got a huge malty taste and a full-bodied, perhaps even overly hefty, palate. It delivered exactly what I’ve come to expect from an American brown ale. I just can’t make my mind up as to whether I like the style or not!

God, I’m sorry to mention Boyne River here but it’s become a standard for me. This Brooklyn Brown is as close as I’ve come to a good honest brown outside of the Boyne River. Aroma of cocoa, flavors of nuts, pine or juniper and wood, creamy body, a mite spritzy and acidic. I’ll let this warm from 50 to 55 and keep going... At 55F it’s more tannic and starchy. This is a very good brew.

brown colored with a small tan head. smells nutty and fruity. smells like a typical brown ale. taste is malty nutty and a slight thin, but its still very nice. i keep looking for a brown ale that can stand up to rogues, but i cant seem to find one. this is still a pretty nice brown ale, and hey its actually legal in this state.

Brown and clear with a minimal head. Aroma is malty, roasted with some hops. Flavour starts semi-sweet wiht nice roasted malts before turning somewhat bitter from the hops. Smooth and full but I prefer lighter hops and more malt body in my brown ales.
