My hubby is a homebrewer. He makes the most awesome brown ale. He calls it honeymoon brown ale because the first time he made it we had just gotten married. It always turns out just slightly different because he uses some different brown malts in it each year, sometimes chocolate malt, sometimes brown malt, sometimes a little black patent malt.
This year we have cascade, nugget, willamette, and glacier hops on our hop vines, so this year I think it's going to be hoppier than usual! I'll take a picture of the vines later on and post it here.
Have you ever tried one called Kostricher? It's a black swartz beer, and it's really black! We both love it, and surprizingly it's not strong or burnt tasting even though it's so dark.
