Brown Ale Drinkers, What's Your Favorite?

I enjoy brown ales (and Munich dunkels) but am looking for something new. I like roasty malt-forward brews with mild hop bitterness and near-zero floral hop flavor. Coffee, caramel, and toffee flavors are welcome, also. I most often buy Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan which I like pretty well and it is readily available. Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar, Abita Turbodog, Cigar City Maduro, Warsteiner Dunkel, and Parish South Coast (kinda meh but gets an occasional turn) are in the regular rotation. Please recommend me your favorite brown ales, dunkels, or even red ales. First world issue, I know, but thanks for your suggestion.

I like unreasonably corrupt but I’m not sure what “style” it is, other than good

Founders Sumatra Mountain Brown and Founders Underground Mountain (a barrel aged version of Sumatra)
Both are awesome, as is most Founders shite.

I think that's a black lager, so no...
Agree with the Founder's

Newcastle is what comes to mind when I hear brown ale. I don’t drink much beer anymore though.

Haven't had it in many years, but I liked Bayou Teche Biere Noire a lot back in the day

Frangelic Mountain Brown (Founders) and Rocky's Revenge (Tyranena) are also good.

Maybe it's nostalgia for the early craft beer days in the mountains, but it's still a great beer.

Good beers are gay? Aside from the fact that that insult should've lost its luster thirty years ago, how does liking good beers make anything gay?

I love a good brown ale, there aren't enough readily available now days.
A good one not mentioned yet is Samuel Smith's Nut Brown

Abita used to have a brown ale in their Select rotation that was great. It was years ago and I only had it in NOLA

I’m not sure if available locally (BR area), but Cigar City Cubano-Style Espresso is my favorite brown ale. I agree with the badger too - the ones Founders puts out are great great.
Great Raft Reasonably Corrupt was mentioned. It’s a black lager. I’m no beer-tasting expert, but to me it’s similar to what you like, and it’s fantastic.

Love all those, but they tend to be seasonal or (cigar city) not easily found around here. Trucked a load back from NW Arkansas recently.
British “bitters” like Old Speckled Hen, Fullers, etc. may not be brown ales like those, but they are in the same taste range to me. Same for German Marzens.
Newcastle was long a favorite, but they turned over the American production to Lagunitas a few years ago, and the damned Americans ruined it for our market. What was a sweet malty beer unlike almost anything else now tastes like everything else.
