Brown beer is an Ales type beer that is made with roasted malts, which gives it its dark color and its characteristic flavor. Brown beers are generally stronger in alcohol and flavor than blond beers or red beers. Brown beers have a complex and rich flavor, with notes of caramel, chocolate and nuts. They are often appreciated for their bodies and their balanced flavor, and are often served at cooler temperatures than blond beers or red beers.
