I'm thinking of expending my library of homebrews and adding either a Brown IPA or a Stout IPA.
As a first step I just brewed an American Brown Ale using Centennial hops (just a small amount of hops, though). I wanted to see if the taste of chocolate malt, roasted malt and Centennial hops would balance each other (a big "if") or fight one another. If this Brown turns out OK I will brew a Brown-IPA hybrid and see how that will turn out.
I wonder if there are any commercial examples of Brown IPAs or Stout IPAs?
Any thoughts on this recipe project would be appreciated.
