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.

Fairly large beige colored head atop a deep brown body. Woodsy, roasted malt aroma, some caramel, with a whiff of walnut. Modestly sweet malt taste, dry, respectably hopped. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Short lived, slightly metallic finish.

Sweet with lots of malt and caramell and with moderate bitterness. Pours brown with brownish head. Fine with me.

$8.69 for a six pack at Winn Dixie grocery. Its an unusual thing to find a quality brewer in a grocery like this. Of course they only had the lager and the brown ale, typical for North Florida. Chances of a decent microbrew stout turning up in a big box grocer around here are slim to none. Brooklyn has 38 brews listed and only 5 rate below a 3.0 (4 of those are retired!), none below 2.8, that’s a pretty good record for consistent quality. Brown ales don’t usually garner much favor with me, but this one is a decent offering. Its more hoppy than most, on the order of a Sierra Nevada. Good notes of chocolate are present, creamy and nutty, and plenty of hops.

Nice brown color with medium head. Very hoppy for a brown ale. Better on tap than in the bottle. In the bottle it seems a little too fruity. Creamy body with slight bitter finish. A good brown ale.
