    DFH Palo Santo is my fav by a mile.

    Tumbler (even if it is semi-retired) and DFH Indian Brown are respectable runner-ups.

    Alesmith's Nut brown is one of the few beer I'd call perfect. I don't think they could improve on that beer at all. I've consumed a fair share in my day.

    Monkey Paw's Sweet Georgia Brown is very good too

    I'm a big fan of Alesmith Nut Brown. I am also partial to Mammoth Brewing Company's Double Nut Brown, although that is really more of a porter.

    I love brown ales! In fact they deserve so much more attention than they get around here

    A few I like:
    DFH Indian Brown: Unfortunately I can never get this fresh. The Southern Illinois stock all seems to be 6-8 months old
    CCB Cubano Espresso Brown and Bolita
    Sam Smith's Nut Brown (the standard in English style browns IMHO)
    Ferguson Pecan Brown
    Lazy Magnolia Pecan Brown
    Abita Pecan Harvest
    Kona Koko Brown

    DFH Palo Santo, Smutty Old Brown Dog, and Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale are the three that I instantly think of, all are great brews.

    The long departed King and Barnes Dark Brown Ale is easily the best I have ever tried.

    Smutty Old Brown Dog and even better Durty, but that is a different type of brown, still tasty!
