Launched in 1927 by Colonel Jim Porter after three years of development, the 1960 merger of Newcastle Breweries with Scottish Brewers afforded the beer national distribution and sales peaked in the United Kingdom during the early 1970s. The brand underwent a resurgence in the late 1980s and early 1990s. By the late 1990s, the beer was the most widely distributed alcoholic product in the UK. Brewing moved in 2005 from Newcastle to Dunston, Tyne and Wear and in 2010 to John Smiths Brewery in Tadcaster.

Bottle at the Cotteridge Convention...... It pours clear brown with a thick white head. The nose is toasty, watery, dull graininess, biscuit and caramel. The taste is smooth, watery, toasty, earth, caramel and mild tangy malt with a short finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Watery and inoffensive. Far from a memorable experience...

Pours a clear dark amber/brown color ,topped with an average off-white head. Mild malty aroma, nice notes of caramel in there and also some chocolate. Taste starts sweet with notes of caramel, followed by bittery body and some chocolate notes in the aftertaste. Pretty good.
