Bottle at the inlaws, thanks to Roger, 29/04/18. Rich copper pour with a decent light beige head. Nose is caramel, dried fruits, biscuit, sweet malts, brown sugar. Taste comprises fruit slice, biscuit malts, brown bread, toffee, mellow spice, stewed fruits. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow bitter edge. Decent enough ESB.

A proper English bitter that veers towards best bitter territory. Lots of strong dark malt and a nice bitter flavour and texture from the hops. Biscuit and a welcome farmyard flavour made this a very pleasurable pint.

Light amber with off white head - Malt aroma with some hops that has a herbal hint - Malt body with some hops that has some herbal bitterness - The malt and herbal bitterness goes into the finish with some dry notes - This was nice

Bottle. Clear mahogany, mid beige head dissipates quickly leaving no lacings. Aroma is malty, overripped fruit, bread, brown sugar, slight floral notes. Taste is balanced, sweet malty bready notes, floral, bitter and dry finish. Good ESB.
