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.

Can at Clarkies. It pours dark brown with a thick beige head. The aroma is toasted grain, cocoa, coffee grounds, earthy roast and wood. The taste is bitter - sweet, earth roast, coffee grounds, cacao nibs, toasty, wood and light ash with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent brown ale.

Nice deep brown coloured body with a thick, very fast-dying tan head, about four centimetres at start and goes down to absolutely nothing a few seconds later. Aroma of roasted malt, alcohol, caramel, toast, grain and wood. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong rich malty flavour with a good deal of caramel, toast, nuts and earthiness. Aftertaste shows some toast, caramel, earth, grain and a touch of candy with a little malt and not much else. Overall, a pretty good brown that borders on a mild ale with some nutty and sweet flavours and little else. I sampled this 50 cL can purchased from the Kona Wine Market in Kona, Hawaii [Island], Hawaii on 10-August-2016 for US$6,30 (not cheap) sampled all the way down on the NorthWest corner of the island of Mo’orea in French Polynesia at my hotel on 16-August-2016, for perhaps the first time an ATG beer has been sampled down here!

9th July 2016. Can shared at Rosses I Torrades with the RBESG guys. Chocolate and coffee flavours dominate this dark Brown Ale that pour out with a full beige coloured head. Some sweetness in the brew along with a light bitter hoppiness late on. Liked it.

Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a very dark brown color with a huge frothy foamy orange-beige head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was toasty and roasty with nut, wood and a hint of coffee. The flavor was bitter, woody, toasty and malty with a bit of roasted malt and nut. Medium length finish. Medium body. Ok.
