The brown ale recipe provided centers around a selection of malts, hops, and yeast. The malt, especially the English Chocolate Malt, imparts the characteristic brown color and provides the beer with its foundational malty, nutty, and slightly chocolatey flavor. The hops, though not the dominant flavor, add a mild bitterness that balances the sweetness of the malt. Lastly, the choice of yeast, which could potentially be a British Ale Yeast, contributes to the beer's overall flavor and aroma, and complements the malty profile of a British Brown Ale.
