Brooklyn Brown uses pale, crystal, chocolate, and black malts to attain a complex creamy texture. It is more heavily hopped than its British forbears.

12 oz. bottle. Nice brown color paired with a medium off white head. Nice lacing is left behind. Definite caramel and malt in the aroma with a hint of hops lingering in the nose. It has a light mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Definite tastes of chocolate and roasted malt. The solid malt flavor is offset nicely by hops. This one finishes clean. Overall a great brown ale that is worth keeping in your normal rotation!

Fantastic amount of flavor in suck a well-priced brown ale. Not fancy, this guy focuses on dark malts. Some hints of flavors are in there but are most likely the result of the malt used, not extra ingredients. This is a great example of what brown should be, very well balanced.

Great brown ale. Crisp clean on the palate and great malty choc finish. Enjoy this one with pork chops.

Pours dark with a decent head. Notes of rich brown caramel. Had it after a long day’s work and was most refreshing!

Bottle. Pours dark brown wth a small tan head. A little lace. Aroma is nutty, malty, and fresh. Taste is of coffee and malts with a slightly hoppy finish. Not bad at all.

Bottled 12 fluid ounces. Appearance: It pours a very dark clear nut brown beer with a small head. Not much lacework. Aroma: A lot of US hops. Sweet with huge amounts of candy floss which is accompanied by hints of walnuts and malt. Flavor and palate: Light to medium bodied. Good hop presence. Nutty. Pretty sweet. Highly drinkable. Low bitterness but with a beautiful hop presence adding a lot to the taste. Some vanilla sneaking in. Dryish finish. Overall impression: Good and very pleasant.
