Bottle at home while watching the Singapore Grand Prix. It poured well and although there wasn't much aroma it looked good in the tankard. The taste was that of a good bitter. There was biscuit malt, bitter hops and a nice mouthfeel. It's a classy bitter and it was a pleasure to drink.

Blind tasting with Dr Beer. I really seem to start to like English bitters. Not as bitter as expected, but that seems to be the rule for ESB’s to me. i enjoyed it.
