Brown ales aren’t very consistent in their home in England, and they’re less consistent here. Some can be leathery and almost tart, a few are quite hoppy and verge on straying into the amber style. R.A.R. has created a brown ale that is decidedly sweet but chewy and more-ish as well. A creamy chocolate malt includes a bit of toffee by the end. We sampled it at Harris’s Crab House on Kent Island. It wasn’t a particularly good match for the oysters, but it was delicious on its own before and after dinner.
