12 oz bottle. Pours a dark, brown color. Aroma is nutty, malty. Flavor is roasted nuts, with malt, and a slightly sweet honey taste. Not bad!

Mar 8, 2010 355ml bottle from BeersofEurope. A sweet, sticky dark ale with very firm roasted notes in the aroma. Finishes quite dry. Not a very attractive drink, but it is drinkable. Tastes like quite a few malts have been used but without much thought given to the end result. It’s a beer, and it’s brown, and it has got hops and flavours and stuff, but really it’s a bit of an inelegant mess. Doesn’t taste fresh. Right on the 6 month freshness limit stamped on the bottle.

Mar 7, 2010 Bottle from BoE. Dark brown. Gary is right to say this is English in its inspiration, but it’s none the worse for that. The aroma is sweet with woody, sugary malt, and the taste nutty and full of caramel. Attractive dry, ashy finish. Much better in my opinion than the thin, flaccid Newcastle Brown.

Mar 3, 2010 Pours a moderate dark brown with a swirling, thin white head. Aroma is chocolate and malts. Taste hints at coffee, slightly bitter chocolate, light malts and a little bit of nutiness. Great brew!

Feb 27, 2010 This tasted too English. When I drink American beers I don’t want them to have an English accent, even if they’re based on an English recipe. This beer is similar to Samual Smith’s boring Brown ale. Roasty and chocolatey . A little caramel and light hop bitterness. More than adequate beer , but its borning
