Cask (gravity dispense), Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Not that dark - sort of deep copper colour. I guess they are going for a Newcastle brown type feel (why?). Reasonably malty and earthy, with caramel and nuts, and some light berry fruit. Fairly dry. Not really my favoured style, although its really more of a bitter than a brown ale, but not bad.

Gravity at Reading beer festival 2006. Brown, flat looking. Rye bread malty. Quite dry, not too bad.

maeib (6647) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - MAY 1, 2006
Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Reading BF. A darkish brown coloured beer with a sweet malty aroma with alittle nuttiness. The taste is decent with some hops and some malts all in balance. Not sure if this is trying to be a Brown Ale, but it ain’t.

Cask Conditioned at Reading BF. A Dark reddish colour. Malty fruity aroma. Sweet fruity beer with plenty of malt, a touch of caramel and some ashy character also. Very tasty.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Deep reddy russet colour with disappearing beige head. Bit of toffee, bit of red berry aroma. Nice enough hop. Some caramel. Good stuff
