Bottle from D&J Liquor in (near) St. Louis, MO. Amber color with a decent beige head. Very "light stone fruit" aroma over slightly roasted caramel. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is rather malty with a fair amount of fruitiness. Finish tends to end bitter. Fits ESB style, though perhaps the malt is a bit rougher than usual.

Cask at GBBF08. Good fruity aroma. Clear amber colour. The flavour is nicely malty with a hint of caraway seed. OK malty finish, not so bitter.

500ml bottle. Gold with a thick cream head; caramel and malt aromas; similar flavours, but over-pasteurised giving an unappealling jammy, stewed fruit effect; slightly bitter finish, but mainly leaving a burnt caramel after-taste. Not pleasant.

Pour is a orange with a whtie head. Aroma is of sweet malts and a little mustyness. Flavor is some dark malts and a bit of caramel. I really could not tell the difference between this beer and the bitter i had from this brewer about 15 minutes ago. Both were watery and boring.

Bottle @ thewolf-and-his-flock-of-sheep tasting session. Clear orange color. Aroma reminds me of an old ale, caramelly and malty. Malty taste. Quite boring though.
