Chestnut brown with malty aroma. Mainly malt flavour but with a slight hoppy tang in aftertaste. Very pleasant and sessionable.
Cask from The Six Chimneys (JD Wetherspoon), Wakefield.

500 ml bottle, from Bier Huis, Ossett. ABV is 4.2%. Clear reddish brown colour, large off-white head. Malty aroma with notes of brown bread, caramel and brittle, a hint of prunes. The flavour is also malty but not too sweet, with the same elements as the aroma. Moderate hops in the finish. Good body for a 4.2% beer.

Tasted by a half-pint at the Swim Inn, a JDW pub in Sheffield. Served by a sparkler-fitted hand pump.
A: despite the name, the colour is not brown to me, more like dark reddish amber with great clarity; a creamy off-white beer head sits on top of very low carbonation.
S: more autumny fruits and dried leafy hops come before maltiness, featuring a mildly sweet citric edge of hops underlining sour-sweet plumy and pear-ish fruitiness, backed by honey-ish and dark malts. Quite pleasant, and very light.
T: the taste packs a smack of nutty malts and fast-expanding earthy and tannic dried leafy hoppiness, while the latter makes the palate unusually dry for a Brown Ale (by which this ale seems to define itself); the nicely blended flavour profile seems to linger reasonably well, slowly yielding to a quiet malty aroma in the end.
M&D: slightly thin-bodied, but remaining very quaffable overall. This is a malty and nutty brew underlining lots of dryish hoppiness.
