Man, you need to practise! Room temperature only, no putting it in the fridge.
I refrained from calling it Newcy Brown for fear of no-one knowing what I was talking about. Plainly I was wrong.

Well they finally cleared the lock gate and released the boat. Two jams apparently, an old tyre and a sunken batten of wood. It's taken all day to lock up and lock down the backlog of boats so we're all stacked up for tonight.

I've tried it cold/ambient/mulled & still can't get on with it. Each to their own though, enjoy[emoji106]

I've not had Newcastle Brown since around 1975 in a tucked away Cotswold pub where the place and landlady stank of cat pee... very much a local place for local folks. Everyone drank it in there.
Suzi Quatro, Sparks and Bachman-Turner Overdrive on the jukebox and the mood was complete!!

Time to revisit it, then! Surprisingly, you'll get it in the co-op. Well, up here you do; they even have it in Fort Augustus so we're made up!

I'd always wanted to like it possibly influenced by Brown Bottle but I've given up on both now.

Well tomorrow night is here and test is complete. Slightly on the positive side of indifferent. May keep a few in the garage for choice. Did think it brought back the cat pee smell of that old Cotswold pub... but no just my prawn sarnies.
Also bought the Aldi knock-off copy to try that.
