Newcastle Brown is very weak in the nose, but one should pick up a sincere malty-goodness as well as a slight bit of caramel and nut. An interesting addition not typical to brown ales but more characteristic of pale ales or porters is the slight metallic dryness. Newcastle's Brown Ale finishes with a very nutty aftertaste. It retains those slight metallic qualities that were present on the nose, as well as some moderate bitterness in the middle of the taste that is offset quite nicely by the sweet caramel finish.While this brew is not as deep or rich as Guinness or Fat Tire, it really strikes as a simple, pure ale that isn't bogged down by an attempt to be over-zealous in flavor or body.
