The ol' precursor to Tumbler. This one didn't stay in production long, I think it was only bottled one season. Anyways, brown ale poured brown, minimal head to it. Blase aroma here, fractional smell of roasted malt, but very reserved.
IBU and hops kept down in a SN beer, no way! This one was smooth, a little thicker than Newcastle. Reflections of nuttiness, caramel and toffee. Carbonation is spot on for creating a smooth experience. Not a bad beer, but with so much awesome stuff by SN, this one just didn't ever become anything I had beyond satiating my curiousity.

Brown pour, lighter brown head, 1/2". Aroma had some brown malt, but not much else going for it.
Above average hops, but not blowing out the style guidelines either. Tea, toffee, caramel, nuts. Smooth.
Good beer, but you know how this brown ale style goes. . .

Very light, and a distinct hop flavor, albeit mild, balances the malt and provides a crisp finish.
