Bottle. Syrupy prune malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Mildly sweet prune and toffee malt flavor. Kind of a heavy taste for an ESB.

Bottle: Pours clear, deep amber with a short, off-white head. Malty, fruity aroma...a little banana bread. Bready malt taste....a little stale. Flat and oxidized..... Too bad, undoubtably much better if fresh.

Dark or copper-golden in colour, not much of a head. Has a good malty-hoppy aroma and this character is evident in its taste.

Bottle: Nose is light sugar, malt, touch of caramel. Taste some summer fruits particularly berries, leading to cereal and a lightly bitter, surprisingly hoppy, herbal finish, with a very faint hint of resin. Mouth feel is reasonably full. This is a lovely bitter, and much better than I expected.
