Now the only original Brown Ale still brewed in the North East of England
It delivers a mouth of full and rounded flavour that is well balanced and smooth and leaves a pleasant and lingering slightly sweet aftertaste

500ml bottle from B&M. Amber beer with a frothy, off-white head. A light, malty aroma and the flavour is malt and fruit. A nice beer.

500ml bottle at home. Pours clear amber with little to no head. Malt aromas, malt sweet taste. Malty. One dimensional in a not very good way. Thin too.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown copper-amber colour, frothy off-white head leaving some lacing, and aroma of fruity caramel & bread with roasted and nutty notes. The taste is sweetish malt caramel, some spicy bitterness through to the finish, turning earthy dry with a metallic edge. Medium bodied & moderate carbonation. OK.

Amber beer with a frothy, off-white head. A light, malty aroma and the flavour is malt and a fruity edge too. Pleasant but not special.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Pours clear, ruby-brown with a fine, off-white cream head. Nose holds toasty bread, semi-ripe fruits, cherries. Light to medium sweet flavor with toasty grains, pleasant fruits, some brown sugar, bread, very light bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp, light sweet finish, with toasty and lightly grainy bread, more lightly ripened fruits, some raisins, dates, brown sugar. A tasty little ditty.

Bottle, at ØlFestival 2012. It’s an almost clear one, brown in color and with a minimal sized head. Buttery caramel, some lightly chessy hops, bread and nuts on the aroma. There’s some bitterness in the flavor, else it’s pretty much the same as the aroma, the usual suspects buttery caramel, bread and nuts, and also some cheesy, light grassy hops. Medium to thin on the palate, quite dry. Bitter end with caramel. Well, it’s certainly nothing super impressive going on here, but it’s an honest English brown ale. 120512

500ml bottle - pours a nicer deeper brown than it looks in the bottle, the white head stays longer than expected. The nose is a bit tinny, some roasted caramel in there, a bit pungent. The mouthfeel is quite good, an oily slick palate, with a nutty aftertaste. There is quite a bit going on in there - fruity, malty, bit of a kick at the end. Quite a good drink in all honesty.
