Thin beige head left a spotty cover on a dark brown body. Toffee & caramel aroma. Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a tingling sensation on the back. Toffee, malt, caramel & aniseed tastes with lightly hopped fruity finish. Standard ESB.

Bottle from B&M Bargains, Manchester. Dark, clear chestnut colour with no head. Traditional ale with a heavier fruity sweetnyin its aroma than taste, but this defines its character.

500ml clear glass bottle from Amble Tesco. Pours dark reddish brown, no head. Strong caramel and toffee on the nose, fruitcake and demerara sugar. Taste is sweet. Light body, watery finish. Not my sort of thing at all.

500ml bottle. Pours a chestnut brown colour, frothy off-white head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, toffee, brown sugar, vanilla. Taste is sweet & malty with dark fruits, raisins, toffee, roasted & nutty notes. Creamy mouth feel, medium to full bodied, medium carbonation, some residual sweetness, dry finish. OK.

Clear 500ml bottle (6.0%), best before end of Dec 09, drank early Nov 09. Poured into a vase shaped pint glass (Old Speckled Hen badged). Mahogany red/brown, clear and healthy looking, a deep head of foam sat on top, the colour of the head a light tan. Lacing held well as the beer sank. Hops and a little malt smell comes from the glass, but like most UK beers that are asked to be cooled before serving it was almost odourless until it began to warm in the glass. Crisp and refreshing, fairly dry from the hop content but a long way from bitter in taste. The malts came into their own as it warmed and calmed the dryness down somewhat, turning the beer into a maltier tasting beer. Slight fizzy feel to the mouth, the alcohol can be found without any undue trying. Not bad at all, a nice little warmer, which got better as it warmed, I wonder why they want it served chilled to 12 degrees C (as per the rear label)?
