I admit that I haven't tried any of the recipes but they are all for English style brown ales.
Hopefully someone who has more brewing experience with brown ales can give you a recipe they've had success with.

Cheers

Do you mean Brooon Ale? If so then I can highly recommend the Broon Ale I made a few months ago:

Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.
