Flaska från SB. Mörkt kopparfärgad vätska med skum som skimmrar i gyllene. Doft av karamell och lite citrus. Sötman vägs upp bra av en blommig beska.

2017: Bouteille achetée à la SAQ... La date de "meilleure avant" indique septembre 2017. Le breuvage a un arrière-goût boisé et me rappelant le cognac. Il y a très peu d’amertume et d’effervescence, et je goûte le toffee et les pruneaux. 6/2/6/3/12=2.9/5.0
2014: Moyenne selon moi... Ne mousse pas du tout (le style aidant), plutôt aqueuse avec un arrière-goût éthylique. L’effervescence est grossière ;(

Red to brown colour, bubbly head that disappears quickly. The aroma has malty and hoppy sides with additional notes of honey & citrus. The body is fairly satisfying. The taste is medium bitter. Herbal finish & aftertaste. Good beer.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt amber to orange to reddish color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute leaving some light foamy lacing that trickled down the glass.
The smell had a sweet malty base grabbing some earthy figs to jump into a gentle light nutty to caramel maltiness.
The taste had a really nice sweet nutty to caramel flavoring with a quick dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat right at a medium on the body. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but still let in a great creamy smoothness to grace my tongue.
Overall, I say this was one fine ESB more than worthy to have again. This one defines the style.

Nice mahogany color with big off-white head (quite fluffy). Fruity (apple, some berries) with lots of sweet grain, caramel, some corn in there, some grass, citrus, light roasted touch and some hazelnuts. Good hoppy finish, quite aromatic and light bitter. Medium bodied. Nice beer.

0.5l bottle. Amber-orange colour with small head. Malty caramel in the nose, with moderate fruitiness. Taste is rather sweet and also bitter, but sweetness dominates. Medium-to-full body and sweet all the way through without losing the bitterness. A decent ale with low carbonation.

God litt søtlig duft. Klar gyllen honning farge. Lite skum, litt heng langs kant. Nydelig frisk noe søtlig smak. Godt øl å sitte utover kveldene med, smak overrasket i sterkt i for hold til duft.
