Northern English brown ales tend to be strong and dry, while southern English brown ales are milder and sweeter. Brooklyn Brown Ale combines the best of those classic styles and then adds an American accent in the form of a firm hop character and roasty palate. A blend of six malts, some of them roasted, give this beer its deep russet-brown color and complex malt flavor, fruity, smooth and rich, with a caramel, chocolate and coffee background. Generous late hopping brings forward a nice hop aroma to complete the picture. Brooklyn Brown Ale is full-flavored but retains a smoothness and easy drinkability that has made it one of the most popular dark beers in the Northeast.

Best With: 
Brooklyn Brown Ale is particularly good with steaks, burgers, stews and barbecue, where it can put its caramel flavors to work with the caramelized flavors in the meat. It's also excellent with venison, ham and roasted pork, which engage the depth of malt character. After dinner, it's the perfect accompaniment to well-aged cheddar, Gouda and Gruyere cheeses.

Appearance:
Dark Brown
Aroma:
Beautiful malt scents, chocolate, coffee, with some hops
Flavor:
A nice deep, dark, malty brew that is not overly filling, well balanced
Mouthfeel:
Malt, malt, and malt!
Overall Impression:
I had one the other night, and for some reason I didn't think it was great. Now, I am ENJOYING a couple after a long day at work, and it tastes much better. By far one of the best brown ales going!
Comments:
My favorite Brown Ale/Nut Brown Ale, so far, is Wachusett Nut Brown Ale. This one may give it a run for the money. Just another fine example of the QUALITY beers brewed by Brooklyn Brewing!

Sounds good - will have to

Looks like a cold press coffee. I want it with five slider burgers right. Now.

Very taste brown ale, liked it quite a bit. I would buy again, for sure. I don’t want to write anymore, but I need 75 characters.
