May 2, 2005 Very good brown ale. A little on the sweet side with hints of chocolate, carmel and nut.
Had this on tap at Victory.

Mar 26, 2005 On cask at Victory. Nice color. Good dry aroma and flavor. Very nutty and complex. This is a northern brown ale. Apparently so is Newcastle. Having them back to back, I don’t think I could tell. Maybe it’s just really great warm on cask, but I think people are shooting a bit low.

Aug 5, 2007 The brown ales are my favorite beer type, so maybe I’m overly harsh. It wasn’t a bad beer, smallish head but nice lacing, nice appearance...but lacked a little in the taste department. I definitely didn’t detect much of the "nutty or caramel" taste that others have noted. Good, but unremarkable. The other 3 people in my party really liked it alot, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Apr 26, 2005 A dark copper apperance with little head. The aroma was mainly caramel. The flavor was very nutty with some caramel and chocolate notes. The palate was a bit thin but it wasnt too bad for a brown ale.
