Mr. Brown is a brown ale I first brewed in my kitchen in 2015.
The profile of this brown ale is toasty, yet slightly caramel, with a moderate amount of chocolate character, all balanced by a delicate hop presence.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which slid off at a good pace and left some light lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, some caramel to dark bready tones, just a little bit of coffee and light earthy sweetness underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to slightly roasty tone with an underscore of bitterness; lovely mobility of the finish - nothing overly dry, nothing watery - just plain smooth
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue, good carb level; no hop bitterness
Overall: not really an English brown ale or an American brown ale, is there such a thing as a dessert brown ale? Maybe a pastry brown ale (as this is quite sweet all around). Still, it's a very good clean sweet and this is a beer I would welcome again.

Poured from a can into a nonic pint
Pours dark mahogany to Dr Pepper brown with a finger of khaki head. The head settles to a ring leaving a fair amount of tight sticky lace
The aroma is roasty coffee, toasty brown bread and caramel malts
The flavor leans into the aroma and ramps up the nutty cold brew coffee, chocolate melds with an herbal to earthy hop character giving some pumpernickel bread.
Medium light to medium body, lower side on the carbonation. Exceptionally smooth and creamy. Very sessionable finishing medium dry with a balanced bitterness. This one is begging you to take another drink.
Overall it's not the most hoppy or the most complex but everything it tries it executes well. I'd gladly grab this beer again anytime. We need more brown ales floating around.
