Seven varieties of malted barley are combined to give this English-style ale its complex flavor and deep, brown color. A select British yeast culture adds a subtle fruitiness and a blend of choice hops gives this non-bitter ale a soft finish. Malts: Caramel, Chocolate, Munich, Pale, Victory; Hops: Fuggles, Northern Brewer
Sizes: 1/2 and 1/4 Barrels, 16oz Bottles.

"This one poured a dark amber color with a decent head. It had subtle malts in the aroma with a creamy malt flavorl. Had a slightly dry finish. The appearence resembled a brown ale, but it still had the creaminess of an English Pub Draught."

"Sprecher is a brewery that has thoroughly impressed me with all of their beer. I never really knew a whole lot about their beer up until the last couple of years. This ale is very smooth, not as sweet and light as a Newcastle (my favorite brown ale) but very rich in flavor and a nice balance in hops and malts, in my opinion. Colour is a dark brown, with a small tan head. Very filling and pleasent, this was fantastic. "

"Very dark red and brown body. A medium off white yellowish head topped this one. Nice malty aroma with oats and brown sugar. Also some apples. A very drinakable session ale. The taste is a mild borwn sugar with some bready notes. Very little hops in this sweet malty brew. Not bad."

"Brownish copper color, sparse head and a mild caramel aroma with a touch of hops. Light bodied with a toasty caramel flavor with a little brown sugar-kind of thin actually. Short finish-just average."
