Bottle at The Rake, Borough Market. Ruby with lasting beige head. Lovely aroma of berry fruit and US hops. Bready. Quite bland in mouth, but finish is good. Hops on either end. Has a fair dry malt flavour in mouth which sometimes is a little bready.

A decent taste with a quick head that let way fairly quickly. A good balance of malt with the hops and a decent drinkability.

Had this on tap at MacNivens. Let down with the bar, let down with the brew. Thin, brown, watery. Not a terrible taste, just nothing outstanding. Could have had a bottle of this for much cheaper. Tastes about like Newcastle, Deep Cover, etc. Do yourself a favor and just get Rogue’s Hazelnut Necter if you want a good brown ale, this is just plain and boring.

Very smooth with a pretty good mix of malts and hops in both the flavor and aroma, pours a dark brown (no real surprise).

Bottle: Deep red/brown clear colour, with a nice head. Aroma was coffee,dark chocolate,caramel, som metalic nose is there to,and a nice citric ending. Flavor is coffee,dark choclate,som alcoholic mouth feeling.Light to medium body, and a medium finish. Nice brown ale! a bit higher alc, and it would get a higher score.
