Newcastle Brown Ale

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

0.5l can. brown red clear with beige small head that dimishes almost totally. Syrup sweet malts, a bit watery, but still a good body. honey and a hint of bitter hops.

Buttered toast aroma with maple syrup. Shrunken head syndrome but still has lovely lacing on draught. Copper and cloudy. Sweet but not too sweet on the tongue, fizzy CO2 and watery palate give way to a clean finish. You should be able to get this beer just about anywhere. Solid 3.

Great beer that is easy to find. Aroma is a warm banana nut bread smell but taste is a somewhat sweet caramel. Easy to drink many of these

Nice balance, but watery. Aroma is banana bread, yeast. Light brown, with moderate head, a bit of lacing. Flavor - toasty malt, slight hint of hops. Palate - despite its initial wateriness, flavors do linger nicely. Overall, I would consider it a good light beer for me - fits my flavor preference, without demanding al ot of attention.

Watery and rather bland. A hint of musty nutty aroma. Flavor has a touch of burnt malt and roasted caramel but it’s not overly appealing. Drinkable if colder than a typical brown ale should be served. "Proper" temperature brings out an unctuous palate feel.

Very nice, dark amber body colour, nice, thick but not tall head, off white, creamy, good lacing. Aroma is of hops, smooth, mild, a little bit grainy, like of whipped cream, fresh grapes. Flavour is of hops but slightly accented, no alcohol when you nose it and taste it. Very mild smooth flavour, quite drinkeable, low carbonation, some herbal notes, caramel and honey, some bisquites. Body is medium and flavour is well balanced. What is more it is easy going and smooth on palate.

4 beer sampler at old chicago Lets see, draft. dark brown with a thin head. aroma is nutty with spice and vanilla. taste is nutty and at first i thought this was a green beans/veggie taste, but then it hit me this is a grains taste it’s like grape nuts without the horrid pellet unchewable quality. is also similar to a buttered rye or pumpernickle bread.sweet finish that leaves a crisp and refreshing mouthfeel almost like a dull sugar cookie, but not quite. but thats the best comparison i can come up with

Clear, amber-brown pour with a modest, white head. Interesting aroma - sweet and floral, suggesting a tilt toward a heavy malt taste. However, a balanced taste is what you get - while it is dominated by sweet, creamy malt, there is a salty, bitter balance that makes it enjoyable. The clear glass bottle is interesting.
