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.

Brown with a nice lacing head. Chocolate, malt and roast on the nose. Creamy and watery at the same time. A little yeasty and sour.

Deep brown color with a slightly off-white head. Strong malty aroma with hints of caramel and toffee. Flavor is very similar to coffee ice cream. Too much in my opinion. Not very drinkable.

Mahogany red color with a nice tan head. Quite sweet malty aroma with burnt sugar and chocolate. Slightly roasted malt flavor with nutty chocolate hints. Smooth finish with a hint of coffe and short aftertaste. Very drinkable with a light mouthfeel.

Poured a dark mahogany brown into a pint glass with a finger of head that dissipated into some decent lacing. Aroma was nutty and also had some nice roasted malt scent. Taste was malty and nutty with some chocolate and coffee overtones. A nice amount of hops (more than something like a Newcastle for comparison’s sake) finished an excellent, drinkable brew.

On tap. Pours a very dark brown with a frothy, light brown head. Aroma is a bit hoppy with some nuts and caramel. Taste is nutty and very malte with some banana esters and coffee. Not very full bodied at all, water like mouthfeel, light carbonation.
