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.

Leichtes, malzig-süsses Braunes. Schmeckt etwas nach Fass, der Sirup grad noch im erträglichen Rahmen.

0.33 l can from a Systembolaget, Eskilstuna. Had this one in Milano in 2005, made no notes. Clear brown, small off-white head. Mild nutty, malty, toasty and caramely aroma. Moderate caramely, sweet, toffee, toasty and lightly roasty flavour. Not sweet. Slightly bland, slightly thin, but not bad. Light finish.

Drank many of these back in the day during the UK years, but have seemingly never rated. Brown with a frothy to creamy head. Distinctive aroma full of old leather, with a hint of smoke and a mild, nutty undertone. Taste is mildly, toasted bitter the whole way through. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, watery texture. Apart from the aroma, on the whole fairly bland.
