I thought this was a very good interpretation of an English brown mild 4.7% abv notwithstanding. Soft chocolate biscuit flavours with a mineral edge and even softer hop bitterness to finish. Hops are more obvious on the nose. Supremely drinkable.

Bottle shared with the lads at work. Real gusher this one. Lost half the bottle before we could get some in the glass. Pours a cloudy drak brown with largish tan coloured head. Falls away very quickly. Aromas are quite faint showing some nutiness and a little chocloate. Some sourness and a little bitterscotch. A little odd and not that nice to be honest. Things dont improve with the flavours. The beer is ridiculously over carbed so it makes it hard to taste much but there is a little sweetness and more of that sourness. Not that great I am afraid.

Gusher. Complete geyser upon opening. Beer went everywhere. Pours brown with a large head that quickly fades to nothing. Nose shows chocolate and nutty malt, but is pretty faint. Same story with the flavours, chocolate and soft roasted malt. Finishes very dry with a bold bitterness. Ridiculously over-carbed. Like a soft drink. Obviously some major kinks needing to be sorted out.

Misty deep copper pour biege coloured head medium carbonation aromas rich chocolate vanilla coffee touch of fruit flavours some tropical fruit coffee chocolate not rich not a good aspiring taste finish bitter is sharp malt smooth mild fruit not a real good brown though
