An ordinary brown ale. Unpleasant herbal character to the aroma. Flavor has malt, very light hops and just a touch of nuttiness. Some flavor of roasted barley as well. A decent but conservative beer that doesn’t take any chances and might get a few customers who decide to branch out from Newcastle.

Bottle pours a clear deep brown with slight redish hues. nice full light tan head. Aroma is mild woody malt. Flavor is a bit bitter and astringent with the usual woody, malt flavors as well. Hopped a bit more than Im use to for the style. Finishes a bit thin and dry. Average.

Bottle: transparent brown color with a frothy tan head. Nice malt flavors with hints of hops, grains, some nuttiness, and a bit of toffee. The depth of the flavor is medium, the finish is smooth and mild.
