Brown Ale

I have really grown to enjoy brown ales. The complexity produced by the roasted grains and malts are impressive, and limited only by the imagination of the brewer. Even with an extract recipe, I can't wait to try this. Brewed 4 weeks ago, it is currently getting some quality time in the secondary. Once bottled, I think I will be hard-pressed to wait the full two weeks before sneaking a taste.
