While i used to really like Newcastle for a brown ale, OBD has taken over as my favorite brown. While i am partial to draught instead of bottle, i can say that this beer is leaps and bounds better on the tap. shp555 (1683), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 20, 2007 12 oz bottle from the variety pack. Fourth of four, and the smoothest of the lot, including the porter. Not as hoppy, not as bitter, brown amber light white head, and a nice smooth drink.
