Bottle. Has a clear amber colour with a medium compact off-white head. The aroma is sweet with caramel, butter and dried fruit. More wood in the flavour and in addition leather, chocolate and dried fruit. Soft and smooth mouth feel. Bitterness = light+. A top british ale with a nice balance.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with a small off-white head that dissippates quickly with some lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt, caramel and citrus. Flavor is roasted malt, lemon, grass, slightly spicy with a pleasantly bitter finish. Very nice beer.

Bottle @ home. Clear copper appearance with a khaki head. Pear, orange citrusy, caramel malty, toffee, molasses aroma. A bit spicy, somewhat citrusy, a bit woody, slightly burnt, caramel flavor with some diacetyl. Different than most ESBs I’ve had (probably because I get all the Americanized versions) and refreshingly so.

Pint, brown bottle, best bsfore Nov 07, drank Dec 06. Lovelly dark amber beer, with a good, off white head, which retained its size throughout the pint. The aroma and taste were of rich malts and hops, very ’moorish’. The richness stays in the mouth and reminds you that you have just had a drink of a very good beer indeed.

500ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet. A subtle, complex and wonderful beer, truly a benchmark of the British bitter. Wish I could brew an ale like this! Fra fat på Cardinal, Mi2 mai-16: klar, rødgyllen med flott skum. Nydelig aroma og smak - her er det bare smil og godord rundt bordet. Kjeks, frukt, røde bær, karamell i superb balanse. Herlig munnfølelse g ettersmak. Et klasseøl.
