I love brown ales! One thing I've noticed lacking from my Brown Ales is a bready or biscuity flavor. I've made mine nice and malty with great chocolate and nutty flavors, but I think I'll throw in some Victory Malt or Biscuit Malt next time.

I'm experimenting on this one, so I think I'll check and see if the store has some Biscuit. Thanks for the advice!

Is the recipe that you entered into the contest?

Yes, and it was my first ever Brown Ale. I'd like to brew it again, and I want to try backing off the Chocolate malt, cut that in half down to 4 oz. Even though it scored perfect on appearance, it was almost black. I thought I'd get dinged on it.

I've made a lot of Browns...it's my favorite style. I think backing off on the Chocolate is a good idea. My last brew, Brown Bog ale, used 4oz, and I think I'd still back off a bit more, in favor of a little more Crystal 80 to darken. The chocolate adds a burnt bitterness I'm not fond of in Brown Ales. Very cool about the contest...makes me want to compete but I'm not sure I have any in my neck of the woods.
