brown/dark beer
I think a one word description is difficult, as there are lots of varieties in English. In the States, for example, the micro-brewery explosion has brought out a lot of different ales and porters. I don't know all the in's and out's of brewing, but I think a stout and an ale, for example, are not the same thing.
Sooo, I think I'd opt for a descriptive choice.

: I am familiar with 4 of the beers mentioned, and the Grimbergen and Bavaria are not stouts. // The Cambridge Dictionary quote is incorrect - 'Mackesson' (a UK beer labelled as 'stout' on the bottle) is distinctly sweet.

ochre/copper/reddish
Hazel, though tostada in Spanish makes one think more along the lines of gold or brown, I looked up a few of these beers and the common thread I found is that they have reddishness to them... So if your focus is the color, I would go with something like copper colored, reddish colored, or even ochre which was used for one of the beer. I have put examples below.
Another option might be providing a color range in English even though only tostada is used in Spanish, reddish brown to (dark) brown for example to be more accurate...
Suerte!
In reference to Gordon's the following which includes describing it like a "dark ruby" :Commercial Description:
Gordon Scotch Ale was born in the limpid highlands among isolated lochs and haunting Scottish castles. This brown beer, reminiscent of a dark ruby, is full of contrast - both strong and smooth. Its creamy head is delectation for the palate. This unique nectar can also be discovered under the name of Douglas Scotch Ale. Has been renamed 'Finest Scotch' in 2006.
My first Belgian Scotch ale, and if this is any indication of what to expect, it certainly will not be my last! (I already have another brewer’s entry in the wings.) Excellent looking pour, a reddish-copperish-brownish body with a tall, dense, rocky white (almost) head. The is
