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.

Bottle. Clear, mahogany pour, topped by a small, beige head. Quite fruity nose, with pine and citrus, but it has a solid malty background. Definately malty flavor as well, but they blend with a good dash of bitterness, citrus and pine. Medium body. Bitter finish with pine and fruit. Not what I expected from a brown ale, but it sure is a nice one. (070801)

Bottle. Pours a clear dark brown color with a smallish soapy off white head. Aroma is caramle, and chocolate malts. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, molasses, light floral hops. Palate is medium bodied, medium carbonation, finishes slightly sweet. Decent.

there is a trick going on here. this is so far from a brown ale and is actually a nice brown pale ale. but heck somebody has got to introduce some innovation and creativity into a sometimes bland catagory. piney, flowery good carbonation well balanced nice palate it is clean with a timely finish. it hardly tastes brown but i’m a hop head whaddaya want?! moderately caramel laden and appropriately sweet.

Had this one on draft at the Emerald Coast Brew Fest in Pensacola, FL. Poured an attractive mahogany brown with a good head. Aroma and taste are both malty with a little sweetness that is offset by a subtle bitterness at the end. Very smooth beer. Drinkability is very high. Mouthfeel is good.

Aroma is malty with a strong molasses component and spicy and hoppy hints. Flavor is malty with some hop undertone, a whisper of sweetness, and just a touch of bitterness. It pours a rich, transparent mahogany brown with a fairly thick off-white head. It feels just a shade thin, but otherwise is very tasty. This ale is very smooth and leaves a surprisingly hoppy but not bitter or nasty aftertaste.

Bottle with a Sept. 07 expiration date. Pours brown with a creamy beige head. A fresh scent. There is a comfortable, creamy medium mouth feel. A little on the bitter side but not repulsive. Not the best Brown Ale I have had but it definitely has its own personality.

Chestnut brown with a garnet accent. Not convinced this hasn’t been sitting on the shelf too long - a bit tinny on the nose, with the more normal nutty malt stuff. Body is medium, bitterness about that for the style. The malts are nutty and sweet, leaning towards toffeeish and with a fair bit of richness relative to most other widely-available browns. Possible age issues aside, not a bad example.

Decent brown ale. Pours dark brown with an off white head that doesn’t linger. Nice nutty taste with minimal bitterness.
