Default Brown foam

Can someone tell me what is causing this?

The car is not using any oil . Still really clear and no sign of emulsion under filler cap.
The coolant is not being used - this has gone brown with what I though was residual rust.

In the top of the expansion bottle there is some brown foam / looks like chocolate mouse

Does it just need a good flush or is it something more sinister?
