In classic French cuisine, brown sauce generally refers to a sauce based on meat stock. It is thickened by reduction and sometimes by adding a browned roux. It is similar to gravy but more involved. Espagnole sauce is the classic mother sauce example, and demi-glace is one of its derivatives, although other varieties of brown sauce exist.
