The barrel ageing of this beer really just melded everything together in a sweet, cereal, caramely malted mess. The hops cant be found, and the sweet bready caramel malts just dominate. Dont get me wrong, its quite tasty, but the sweet malts just get old fast. Id lkke some nice goldings to come through, but nothing, just, round bready maltiness. Maybe an old bottle? Disapointing.

Bottled. Copper colour with slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruity, some nutty, mild grapes and some floral tones. Flavour relies on the same profile as the aroma, but also has a quite strong wooden edge with some caramel to it. Pleasant ESB.

Pours a beautifully clear deep amber, with a finger of white head. Good enough persistence, decent lacing. The aroma is classic bitter ale with a pleasant underlying touch of wet/sweet woodiness: biscuity, slight toffeeish malts, delicately earthy and leafy (tea like) hoppiness, with a hint of fresher grassy feel, light marmelade-like fruitiness, wet woodiness as mentioned. Taste notes follow the aroma closely; hits a bit more than a classic english bitter in both sweetness and bitterness but still feels nicely balanced, with a touch of (clean) earthiness in a moderately bitter, semi-dry finish/aftertaste. Light to medium bodied, light to medium carbonation, quite smooth and easygoing. Very nice!
