    I haven't drank enough to come up with 5.

    Rogue's Hazelnut Brown Nectar is definitely my number one though. Avery's Ellie's Brown Ale and Bristol's Cheyenne Canon Pinon Nut Brown Ale are right behind.

    Dogfish Head's Palo Santo should probably be there too.

    After that, I need to still check more out.

    Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar (one of the best beers ever, IMHO)
    DFH Indian Brown Ale
    Mt. Carmel Nut Brown Ale
    Bell's Best Brown Ale
    SN Tumbler

    Honorable mention to Brooklyn Brown Ale.. I've always loved brown ales.. it's the first style I ever fell in love with.. DFH Indian Brown isn't a traditional brown ale at all though, but it's such a great beer..

    Another big +1 for Rogue Hazelnut. Also, I thought Stone's (collab) TBA was pretty tasty as well.
