Hand-pulled half-pint on 18th October 2024, at the source. Clean and clear deep mahogany red/brown, beige crown on top. Malty, earthy and a nice throw back to tradition Browns.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 10/1/2018. Deep brown in colour, with a slight, white, head. A sweetish brown ale, with some berry fruits, brown sugar and a gentle finish. Fine.

Dark amber color, ok beige head. Earthy hops in the nose, hints of toastyness. Light-bodied. Front has some toasted malts, then English hops and lingering bitterness in the aftertaste. Ok.

Taste comprises brown bread, toffee, earthy fruit notes, biscuit malt. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a moderate bitter rinse. Fine for the style.

Gravity cask at Olde England, Northampton. Mid-brown and translucent. Flat, no carbonation or head to speak of. Chocolate malt aroma with the slightest hint of sarsaparilla. Sweet malty and chocolatey taste. A bittering hop note holds the sweetness back for the balanced finish. Light body. I appreciate what Phipps is doing with bringing back these traditional recipes. Some leave a lot to be desired, but this one’s pretty good.
