well i sampled my brown ale and im very excited about it, It tastes great!!! but is very porter-ish so i'm wondering if i truely nailed. i'm certainly no expert but what i can interp from the guidlines i think i did well, but i may not have the skill to truly id all the characteristics good or bad for the style.

should i still call it a brown ale?

If anyone tries this they wont be dissapointed!!

 

Well it looks like a brown ale recipe to me, but I don't drink them.

I'm not so sure about the name though. Aything like that or Brown Trout ale I really don't want. smile
