We're no strangers to brewing the traditional styles that inspire us; this follows that line. As Autumn rolls into winter, we hark back to times spent in cosy pubs with fires roaring. Sometimes something as simple as a pint of well brewed Brown Ale can take you back to those times and places. We hope a sip of this in your favourite spot takes you there as well.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Clear amber/brown body with a beige head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, pine and filter coffee. Flavour of brown sugar, orange and toffee apple. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. Tasty and hoppy. I wish hoppy brown beers were more common.

1/3 cask pint @ Cloudwater taproom, London. A droite sur la photo.
Brune foncée, col épais crémeux blnac-cassé.
Arôme sur une belle base maltée caramel, pâle, finement chocolaté et biscuitée - pointe d'amertume herbacée en balance, ainsi qu'un effet de 'burnt malt'.
Palais est soyeux avec un apport signature du cask - malté tirant sur le grillé et biscuité le tout rehaussé par un plaisant apport houblonné - floral, terreux, feuille de tabac séchée et finalité herbacée. Je retrouve une sensation d'épices hivernales - cannelle / girofle? avec un léger effet de sucre brun en finalité, sans pour cela être trop douce.

Cask at 73 Enid Street. A clear dark mahogany red brown coloured pour with a a lasting loose beige head. Aroma is nutty, waxy, tobacco, woody pine, light tang,. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded, layered malts, tabacco, leather, toffee, pine. Light green apple note. Palate is semi sweet, rounded, mellow cask condition. Not bad. Lacks the depth of the kernel brown ale.
