Description
The Eagle Brewery was previously a Charles Wells brewery site and became part of Marston's (Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company) wider business in May 2017. The Eagle Brewery continued to brew many of the former Charles Wells brewery brands sold to Marston's including brands such as Bombardier, Courage, and McEwan's.

The Eagle Brewery was later sold by the Carlsberg Marston's Brewing Company (CMBC) to S.A. Damm (Grupo Damm) in November 2022, though Eagle brands remain with Marstons.

I was disappointing about this beer. The taste of banana is symply too strong, erasing the taste of malt and hop, 31.05.2016, buying it at one supermarket, during a beer trip, in Luxembourg, drinking it at Lausanne, Prélaz, not.good at all, too sweet, really disgusting, in point of view.

16 oz. draft at Village Pub in Naples. Florida. Pours a crystal clear dark ruby color with a small off-white head. Light caramel flavor with a light bitter finish. Smooth and clean. Easy to drink. Maybe a little more bitter than I prefer. Medium body. Medium light carbonation. Medium light bitterness.

Sights & Swills Summer Holiday Beer#24. POOLE. With light fading I popped into a Marstons pub called the Foundry Arms, not much to see here in terms of beer, although surprisingly I'd never had the cask version of this one - or at least rated it before. Golden glowing golden style ale. Healthy enough, hoppy and steady and mildly sticky-sweet.

On the day I am drinking this beer in history, in 1796 the Battle of Borghetto took place between Napolean's French forces and the Austrians - when soldiers still used muskets and ram rods to push the ammunition to the end of the gun barrel. Not much pushing required to get this strong ale down the end of my drinking barrel, it slipped down the palate really well for its strength - having tasty very mildly sweet malts certainly helped proceedings. Mildly floral aroma.
