Touchdown Brooklyn Brown!

Friday, February 10th, 2006

I’ve had the pleasure of tasting eight different beers from The Brooklyn Brewery and up until last night, their Block Chocolate Stout was by far, my favorite of their beers. This ranking changed, however, after my first taste of their Brown Ale.

This dark colored ale, with a medium head, had a wonderfully nutty smell, which complemented its fabulous, yet mild, chocolate-caramel-nut taste. While the Chocolate Stout is a sipping beer, the Brown Ale is a drinking beer- its smooth taste goes down nicely. When I finished my glass, I found myself wishing for more.

There are a few Brooklyn beers I haven’t yet had, however, the Brown Ale is my favorite and I highly recommend it!
