Brooklyn Brown Ale

This is the final beer in my Brooklyn series.  One of my favorite beer styles, the Brown Ale!   Brooklyn Brown is an American Brown Ale which is not as malty as the English counterparts but has that American hop presence and finishes a little on the drier side.

Aroma - Hints of dark chocolate, toast, caramel, and slightly nutty.  Slight earthy-floral hop aroma.  Hint of fruity esters.

Appearance - Deep brown, clear.  Thin off-white head.

Flavor - Very malty, emphasis on chocolate, toasty, and nutty with a touch of sweet caramel in the finish.  Despite the sweet caramel, this beer finishes nice and dry, probably due the the roasty nature of the malts and the medium hop bitterness.  There is a slight hop flavor, very mellow.  Very balanced and drinkable.

Mouth-feel - Medium, finishes dry.

Overall - What a great American Brown Ale.  Delicious!  Plenty of malt complexity from chocolates to toast to nuttiness.  Medium hop bitterness to balance.  Dry finish... What more could you ask for in a great, easy drinking beer.  Pick this one up ASAP!
