Pours a mid chestnut brown body with a slight off white head starting about 4mm and having.

Light aroma of hops barbados brown sugar and digestive biscuits

The taste is very fitting with a traditional brown ale slightly sweet with fruity hops and a nutty slightly bitter finish.

slightly lively but a good mouthfeel

as a rocker from the north the standard fare is Newcastle brown ale at clubs and gigs, now this is a slight cut above that.

Clear russet body with craggy taupe head that's very clingy. Hob Nobs and toasted almond nose - deep and malty.
Brown bread and toffee with hints of beef and red plum, then mild woody hops to end.
Treacly end that mellows to buttery caramel and slighty salty, root beer linger. Medium, chewy, sticky.

Malty end of the style, with no hops noticable, and so cloys a bit. Sharps edges fade as it warms. If you're after straight malts, this should make you happy.

Coming in a 500ml slim brown bottle, BB 09/2011, served cool a straight imperial pint glass. Note: ingredients include malted barley, wheat syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, and hops.

A: pours a light brown-ish hue, a thin beige froth retreats to a rim.
S: quite sweet, syrupy as well as caramely, with malts and corn-ish sweetness lagging behind, plus a little hint of dates and sweet brown prunes.
T: lightly sour-sweet, date-ish, smoked malty, leading towards a lightly bitter, herbal, hop-bitter and yeasty dry-ish finish.
M&D: quite fizzy but not over the top, light-bodied and quite thin on the palate, ok drinkability and all in all not a good beer IMO.
