Brewed with 5 different malt varieties including chocolate, dark crystal and caramalt, with a touch of rolled oats, Brown Ale delivers a solid malt backbone, with a light, crisp toastiness. This batch features Meridian hops from America, which layer on an easy touch of citrus fruitiness and a minty zing.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery taproom. Pours clear, light red-brown with a dense, lasting creamy khaki head. Lightly sweet with lovely toasted malts, nips of cocoa, coffee accents, inklings of toffee, slight pine and earth. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Balanced finish, more toasted bread, biscuits, cocoa. Mighty drinkable.
