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

Bottle from Morrisons, Sidcup. Brown pour with a light beige head. Raisin, herb and grapefruit aroma. Quite bitter-sweet. Flavours of raisins and a little caramel. Bitter-sweet finish. Not too bad.

Malty bitterness with a sweet edge to it, but it also has a great textural balance.

Clear 500ml bottle, best before 28 Jan 2009, drank on a cold, damp UK evening in Nov 2008. Poured into a pint sleeve glass. Drank this beer years ago at the Vaux Brewery Tap before watching Grimsby Town play at the Stadium of Light. The brewery closed a few years later and the beer is now brewed in Stockport, miles from Sunderland, its original home, not that the label tells you that! Teak red/brown in colour, bright and clear, the off-white started thinly and got thinner as i drank down the pint. Fairly sweet aroma, some toffee and caramel mix to give it an intersting smell. The aroma flavours follow into the taste and a toffee feel is there for all to find. Very ’more-ish’ a beer that is extremely drinkable. The 4.7% is well balanced and the overall experience was a good one. A good bottled Brown Ale.

Dark red-brown colour. Aroma has some woody notes. A flavour that is rich in slightly roasted, slightly bitter-sweet malts. Aftertaste is quite dry but with a little bit of fruitiness hanging around too.

500ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium frothy head. Aroma is faint, skunky, nutty brown malt. Faint hint of caramel to start and skinny brown malt finish. Better then Newky Brown I suppose.
