You guys have no idea how happy I was to find a bar near me that carried American craft beer. It's been basically nothing but Spanish Euro pales since I arrived in Madrid 5 months ago, so stumbling upon a Brooklyn Brown Ale was a dream come true. Maybe it's because I haven't had anything like it in a long time, but I thoroughly enjoyed Brooklyn's brown ale. It pours a deep copper brown that only let a small amount of light in at the bottom of the Brooklyn 12 oz glass. Out of a bottle, it poured with about a finger of tannish-brown head that dissipated relatively quickly. There was essentially no lacing on the glass. The first thing you smell with Brooklyn Brown is chocolate followed by a subtle hint of coffee. Compared to the near excellent smell of the beer, I was slightly disappointed with the taste, but it still tastes wonderful with plenty of coffee moved to the forefront that gives this ale a bit of a bitter aftertaste. I also want to say that it initially tasted nutty, but that could just be some of the malts. Mouthfeel was wonderful as well; this is a very drinkable beer at 5.6%. Overall, Brooklyn Brand Brown Ale is something I will absolutely be returning to some time in the future. Cheers!
