The brown ale to end all brown ales. Enjoy it, because there is no longer any reason to drink another. You’ve reached the pinnacle. A healthy blend of traditional British malts give this popular style a semi-sweet, biscuity, slightly roasted flavor. Oats thicken the mouthfeel, and a handful of specialty malts add complex chocolate, toffee, and caramel notes. The hops are mostly traditional, earthy British hops, but we cocked it up a bit with some Cascade late in the boil just to show those snooty Brits that we don’t approve of that Constitutional Monarchy crap.

Pours dark brown with a very large, dense, light tan head. It smells of toasted caramel malt and nuts. The malty flavor is on the sweet side with more caramel and nuts. There's some mild bitterness that balances it well. Medium bodied, this is a solid brown ale with the most disgusting art I've seen on a beer can.
Are they suggesting that this beer will give you terrible diarrhea or that this beer IS the terrible diarrhea? It's something to ponder.

Canned. Hazy copper colour with a mediumsized foamy beige head. Aroma is roasted, nutty, chocolety with some caramel malts and mild floral tones. Flavour is nutty, some oats, mild toffee, spicy and mildly chocolaty tones. Smooth, but has a quite big bang to it.

440ml can from the Rex Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a lazy medium brown colour with a short-lived fizzy off white head. The aroma is malt, nuts, light toffee. The flavour is light sweet and bitter, with a nutty, earthy, mineral, light toffee, light floral hop palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
