Brown Ale.
I wanted to make something with brown malt...something historic-ish. Something like those porters were actually drinking way back when.
The guy from Thomas Fawcett cautioned me that a couple pounds of brown malt would be plenty. You'd think a guy would listen to the maltster, wouldn't you?

Now THIS is a damned serious beer. It's like a rip-your-face-off porter / stout thing...
You know how a triple IPA slams you with hops? Well this is the same concept but slamming you with malt. Brown malt.
