Cask at The Burlington Arms. It pours slear amber, thick foamy white head. The aroma is earthy, grassy, sweet, cake malts and biscuit. The taste is bitter - sweet, plenty of cake malts, orange peel, earthy, spicy, UK hops, brown bread, chewy malt and tannin with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A fair bitter, but perhaps a touch sweet.

Cask at Kings Head, Waterloo. Malty caramel aroma. Light brown. Surprisingly light for a Brown Ale, assumed it was a bitter. Fluffy if not impressive off-white head.sweet with some light bitterness. Slightly sour, in the vein of vinegar. Medium bodied. Light. Soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. Not great. As far as brown ales go this is more like a sweet bitter.

White fluffy head stayed well on a still, copper coloured body. Dark fruit & malt aroma with citrus hints. Medium bodied, soft, tingly & a flat back. Well balanced with malt to the fore but this quickly changes to a bitter, spicy back with woody pine.
