  Brooklyn Brown poured a dar brown color with a tan head.  The nose was nice and clean and gives off light malt and hops.  The first sip was sweet with a hint of caramel.  The middle is where the malt sugars dominate and give off a nice mouthfeel.  The malts eventually give way to a herbal note and the finish is mild on the hops, but very nice.  The flavors transition nicely from start to finish.  Overall, this is a good, possibly even very good American brown ale that can be used as a stand alone or session beer.  It is missing that one impression to make it a truly great beer.  The beer comes in nice, retro packaging and the price is comparable to Sam Adams, but a better beer. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
