Richly mahogany in color, Brooklyn Brown Ale is richer and hoppier than it's mild and maly English forebears. Chocolate and coffee flavors punctuate the roasty malt background.
Beer Ratings and Reviews:
[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/22/2008 4:05:49 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a huge foamy head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of huge caramel malt with some toffee notes. Taste is also a mix between some very rich caramel malt with some notes of toffee and no major discernable presence of hops. Body is full with some average carbonation. The best-by date was April 2008 but still very drinkable and more enjoyable then I had expected."

[2] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/7/2008 5:37:47 PM)
"I'm glad Brooklym Brewery has followed this snowbird transplant south. This brown ale is a maple brown body ale with an off-white head that maintains good retention.. There is a prominence of sweet, roasted malt nose with complex hints of caramel, chocolate, and citrus. The balance leaves a dry more sweet than bitter finish."

"How have I not had this before? I had this on cask at the Atlanta Cask Ale Festival. I was a bit surprised by the nuttiness of the malt. Pretty tasty beer."

[4] Review by YumBeer from Edgewater, NJ, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (12/22/2007 7:15:10 PM)
"A delicious tasting beer that had a great balance between sweet and bitter. The dark brown beer with a white head had caramel and chocolate flavors that were followed by a hint of hops. Another very good beer from Brooklyn Brewery."
