brown ale

Caramel-colored beer

Brown ale is a style of beer characterized by its dark amber to brown color and malty, often nutty or caramel flavor.

It originated in England and tends to be less bitter than pale ales.

American versions are typically hoppier and more robust than their English counterparts: I'll have a brown ale and some fish and chips.
