Newcastle Brown Ale

Brewed by Dunston (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Brown Ale
Gateshead,, England

An interesting dusty attic smell. A sweet, malty flavor with a subtle hop character and a lingering dusty finish. Dark brown. Medium head. It’s alight.

Summary: Brown ale doing an excellent impression of sweet ice tea. Aroma: Intense honey and flowers. Appearance: Deep brown liquid, mahogany highlights, thin head, minimal lace. Flavor: Starts off sweet and floral, honey, geraniums, lemon; then becomes tannic with tea flavors. Finishes bitter, dry, and a little stale. Palate: Peppery, the sweetness gets a little cloying.

Poured from 12oz bottle brown with a beige head. Aroma is sweet malts and a bit of resin hops. Flavor starts out a sweet malt then turns to a lite hop bitter and finishes with a caramel flavor.

Brown coloured beer with some light carbonation and an average brown head. Sweet roasted caramel aroma. Medium sweet palate. Finish is light bitter roasted and malty with a longer and sweeter ending. Rather medium this one.

Nice brown ale, nutty, malty aroma and flavor, hints of caramel are there, definitely enjoyed more in a pint glass, slightly grainy, bitter yet sweet finish, cheers!

In a can, at my hotel in Orlando. (The can is a big improvement over the clear bottle it often comes in). Decent brown ale. The appearance is a reddish brown, weak white head. The aroma is caramel malty, and nutty. The flavor is surprisingly a little weak; definitely malts, caramel sweetness and nutty flavors, just not as strong as expected. The finish is sweet, but gives way to a small amount of bitterness towards the end. Good overall, not bad for a brown ale.

Dark brown color, aroma is a malty and nutty, taste is also malty, but a little light.

Surprising excellent ale, served in bottles only and a good solid malty ale taste. Good to be able to get this as an alternative to John Smiths sometimes.
