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.

Keg at the Imperial, Glasgow. Slightly ruddy light to mid-brown, clear with a film of off-white head. Light malty aroma. Not much there. Taste is decent although muted: sweet at first with a stewed tea bitterness in the finish. Medium body and carbonation. Not great but enjoyable enough for what it is.

Fra cask på The Lamb, Hindon: klar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Silkemykt og fruktig anslag med barskog, urter og hint av gress og krydder. Deilig bitterhet i den lange avslutningen.

Bottled. Pours dark and the rest is all chocolate, a perfect desert beer withwell disguised alcohol.
