Here’s a recipe for a brown ale that’s obviously a brown ale, but also obviously not just another English Brown or Mild. It will have much more interest on the palate, especially if you take the more adventurous Rauchmalt route! But even if you don’t, the spice from the rye and the wonderful middle-crystal and brown malt flavors will still yield some great results. But if you should happen to think to yourself, “My, what a great roasty beer!” you’ve screwed up. Go back and reduce the percentage of the chocolate malt and give it another go.
