In magical nitro-can (McCoppins, Fitzroy): I’m a sucker for a bit of can technology. And this works a treat. Replicates a tap-poured ESB perfectly. Lovely malt-driven ale with hints of butterscotch. Pillowy joy.

Pours dark amber with large creamy head. Nose shows bready malt, caramel, biscuity notes, toffee and earthy hops. Flavours include bready and nutty malt, some caramel, as well as soft spicy and earthy hops.

Amber with an inch + thick nitro head that lasts all the way. Subdued but pleasant toffee cream aroma with flowers and light spices. There’s a fair bit of bitterness and some spices at the end, but the sweetness is lumpen (probably not helped by the nitro). Not my sort of thing.
