My first was an Oatmeal Stout/Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Seems very very very common as a first brew. I wonder why.

How funny, I am planning on either a Nut Brown or an Irish red as my first actual brew also.Kevin Dean said:Other, or not at all. You don't actually brew apfelwein, but that said it WAS my first batch of homemade alcohol.
My first beer was an Irish Red from Midwest. I have to say, it's certainly not what I was expecting. In my opinion it's too hoppy. I have grown fond of hops (thought not a hop head!) but I was expecting a much milder flavour. It's still pretty good. I've still got some of it in the kegerator, though I think it's pretty close to kicking.
