May 3, 2008 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

May 3, 2008 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.

May 3, 2008 I had this beer on tap (and the rating reflects this). It is good...nothing spectacular. It has a malty, nutty flavor and is real smooth. It has light-medium body with medium carbonation. The first time I ever had this was out of the bottle. Why Newcastle do you insist on using clear glass? It was skunked...badly. Newcastle, you are lucky that I gave your beer another shot, but I chose the tap instead. I will never buy this beer in a bottle.....ever.

May 3, 2008 bottle, part of a gift-set. watery.. boring.. but not bad. just sort of a non-event. brown probably refers to the color, cause not much taste.

May 1, 2008 Once you get past the skunk off of the clear bottle, some decent qualities peak through. Nutty, toasty, malty. Beautiful deep amber color with ample almond head. A solid brown, just make sure to store it properly.

Apr 29, 2008 Late night six pack. Good beer, smooth malts, hops, and hint of nuts. Pours a dark amber with a creamy and nutty lightly tan head.

Apr 28, 2008 12 oz bottle drank in Vegas a year or so ago. Not great but ok for a brown ale. I liked the low alcohol and the smooth drinking.
