A nice dark brown ale, initially the spiciness hits you, but its not intense, the aftertaste is the custard / vanilla. Really good all rounder.

This is a nice beer. All the nuttiness and maltiness associated with a nice brown ale, but with the pleasing side notes of cherry coming through. Its quite sweet and all round nice.

From the Greene King brewery. This is one of the better pints I have tasted of theirs. . . Its a brown ale with a real nutty flavour to it, quite unique and very quaffable! 🙂

This is a special buy from Aldi, stocked over Christmas. Its nice, kind of a standard brown ale, with a definite toffee smell, and a sweet toffee flavour, without being sickly, the finish is bitter, so it balances out.

No idea why its taken me this long to write this one up. . . An absolute classic. Very malty and gassy, but refreshing and tasty.

Another barrel aged beer from I&G, this time ages in a rum barrel. This is more of a dark colour, and is sweeter / more mellow than The Original, yet its stronger.

A nicer beer for sure.
