I can't seem to find any notes on the beer attached to this date. It's possible I exclusively used it to cook: Italian Sausage with Peppers, Onions and Beer.

Today I drank a bottle and used a bottle to make another batch of Italian Sausage with Peppers, Onions and Beer.
I wrote: "This Brooklyn Brown Ale smells sweet. Tastes dark like a stout? Oh. I know, it has a delicious malty flavor. I like beers with a strong malty flavor. I really like it." 4:39PM

The Brooklyn Brown Ale tastes flavorless compared to the New Belgium Imperial Coffee Chocolate Stout. Of course I already know I enjoy this beer, but I'd have to say the Imperial Coffee Chocolate Stout is just that much better. 10:33PM PT

BROOKLYN BROWN ALE
This is the award-winning original American brown ale, first brewed as a holiday specialty, and now one of our most popular beers year-round. 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.
