Draft - Nice roasted malts and raisin. Clear brown with a rich brown head. Nice brown sugar and raisin, with malts and some grain dominating. Another classic English style.

More of an amber ale than a brown. No taste other than mildly sour leave. Aroma only malt. Very boring with some booze in finish. Pours reddish copper. On tap at brewpub.

Tap @ brewpub. Caramel, brown appearance with an off white head. Pretty nice, hazelnutty, toffee, malt centric nose. Nutty, caramel, toffee, big malty flavor. Good session beer.

Pours light brown with a light head. Aroma of oily dark malts. Flavour is a weak nutty flavour, almost stale tasting. Not too good.

Draught at the brewpub, hand pulled
Brown-amber color. It has some caramel aroma and a mixed caramel-roasted malt flavor, with a medium dry mouthfeel. Straightforward beer, but quite good.

Hazy dark brown colour. Straightforward malty/hazelnutty aroma. Strange body - both full and thin, like you’d find in a nitro beer, but this was a firkin. I guess both have low carbo. No worries though, I’ll be at the brewery next month. The flavour is mainly about carastany malts and a light nuttiness. Doesn’t appear anything wrong with the beer, but a standard brown ale is just so uninspiring for me.

Amber brown with lasting tan head.Faintly nutty malt nose. Carmel malt flavor with slight nuttiness. Carbonation is there, but seems somehow very soft.
