Brooklyn Brown Ale

Brewed by Brooklyn Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Brooklyn, New York USA

I live in Florida now and for some reason, I can’t get Brooklyn down here. When I get up to NY, the first thing I do is stop off and a store and buy a six of Brooklyn Brown Ale, and Brooklyn Lager!

Best brown this side of the Atlantic!

Brooklyn Brown Ale pours to a bright, deep brown color with a creamy tan head, and a lively carbonation. The nose is packed with aromas of sweet malt, a touch of chocolate, some nutty notes, and zesty, cirtrus hop aromas. The palate is firm with good dark malt flavors of chestnut, chocolate, and touches of caramel malt sweetness. Some nice, fruity estery flavors are present as well. This beer finishes with a long, dry, zesty, cirtus hop bite that lingers on the tongue. Brooklyn Brown Ale is a fantastic beer with great character. You get a lots of good malt and hop flavors, and I really enjoy drinking this beer, and American brown ale as a style. This beer would match well with a number of dishes. I would match this with beef Wellington, or perhaps steak and kidney pie. It would make a great desert beer as well, try it with creme brulee. Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, pairs his brown ale with a good cigar. This beer is well worth seeking out, and one that you will want to continue to drink for years. A classic.

A malty, dark and hoppy brew, smooth on the palate, that goes well with a steak and potatoes, Brooklyn Brown Ale has definite presence, with strong hints of chocolate and coffee. A good but not overwhelming head and light carbonation mark this beer.

One of very good brown ales available - I also really love that they include this with their variety cases. A fine hoppy brown ale. One of my favorites.

This is a great brown ale. The body is thick with a nice dark color, and a nice lasting head. The aroma and flavor is all malt, and has a strong nuttiness to it. There is also some sweetness from chocolate. The aftertaste is strong and lasting with a nutty flavor. A very good November beer.

Aroma was a little lacking, but this beer made up for it in all the other categories. Small head that laced out nicely. Wonderful brown body that had a great consistancy. Slightly creamy taste that usually doesnt accompant a brown ale, but I liked it very much. The aftertaste and (albeit barbaric) taste from the belches were even wonderful!! Not quite as bitter as some other brown ales I have tried, but delicious none the less.
