On holiday so it is time for some leisure... Brighton Imperial Leisure 5% A hoppy brown ale with a thick pillowy beige head and a perfumey aroma featuring lemon peel over a Cocoa maltiness. The taste is cocoa paste and then a big punch of bitter floral yet fruity hops. Think a mild type Black IPA, is there such a thing as a Brown IPA? Solid and I enjoy the medium body and smooth mouthfeel... ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - cloudy brown. Nice lacy head. Nose - light nuts and light chocolate. Mostly dry malt. Taste - burnt bread and light nuts. Palate - close to medium bodied. Crunchy middle section and finish. Overall - a bit challenging but good. Not a typical example of the style.

Can shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy amber brown with a thick white head. Aromas of light chocolate, Nutella, bread crusts. Taste has more of the chocolate, faint rye spice. Depth of flavour very good.

Can from Freshfields Market, Croydon. It pours deep brown with a thick off-white head. The aroma is toasty, cacao, bourbon biscuit, coffee grounds, toffee, citrus vibe and burnt pine. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty, earth, wood, charred pine, cacao, orange peel and spice with a lingering charred wood finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Malt seems to dominate this beer with the hops being a bit muddled. Ok, but no gamechanger.

Can from Drinkmonger. Hazy amber/ruby body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of caramel, pine and fresh strawberry. Flavour of brown sugar and orange pith. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A decent, hoppy Brown Ale.
