Bottle from the Brewery store. Pours a solid dark brown with a decent sized off white head. Toffee, caramel, and dark fruits with just a hint of earthiness. Medium body moderate carbonation. One of the better ESB’s that I’ve had.

Thanks Geoff,
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy dark copper/light brown color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute. There was some light slightly sticky and foamy lacing.
The smell had a bitter malty dried toffee to slight caramel aroma with a slight nutty edge in the background.
The taste was mainly a sweet dry caramel/toffee toastiness. There wasn’t any aftertaste but a dry caramel/toffee finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed good for the style and for me as it was smooth and slightly creamy.
Overall, good ESB I’d have again if I could.

Clear dark red - brown beer. Not much head. Toffee malt on the nose. Palate is slightly crisp. Dark toffee reasonably well balanced with mildly bitter hops of a marmalade orange character. Finishes dry. Competent but unremarkable.

Smells like syrupy malt., honeyed malt. Pours with decent head and mahogany colour. This has a bitter touch to it, classic English style carbonation. Not a whole hell of a lot of character, but good for the style. Aroma is a touch sweet for my liking.

Originally rated november 2005. Pours a dark amber colour with hardly no head and lacing. Aromas of sweet and roasted malts with some hints of caramel and apples. The taste is a good mix of chocolat malt and bitterness. Smooth and refreshing. A good example of a Extra Special Bitter.

On tap at Propeller in Halifax. Pours out amber topped with a small sand head. Aroma was of caramel, bread malts, nuts, sweetness, and some light hop notes. Taste was much as the aroma with a good malt mix along with the light hops. A very well done ESB.

Bouteille 341ml, courtoisie de SlovakSniper. De couleur brune-cuivrée et claire. Nez malté de caramel aux petites notes rôties, léger de houblon terreux et légèrement herbeux avec des notes fruitées (prunes, traces de pommes rouges), de noix et biscuits à la mélasse. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et une texture moyennement crémeuse et aux faibles notes huileuses. Léger goût fruité (prunes, traces de pommes) accompagné de notes de grains de malt rôtis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût malté de caramel tofffee ainsi que des notes de biscuits à la mélasse. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une moyenne amertume asséchante de houblon herbeux et légèrement terreux jusqu’en finale, accompagné d’un léger goût de noix. Post-goût moyen et un peu sec, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux et légèrement terreux ainsi qu’un léger goût de noix, des petites notes rôties et fruitées (pelures de prunes).

Bottle thanks to savvy1982 (the bottle says to drink fresh but has no discernible best by date on it). Pours with a bronze to brown body and a slightly off-white head that fades rather rapidly. Pretty dark compared to a lot of other ESBs out there. Aroma is bready, dry, sweet grain, cereal, nuts. The grain smell is sweet and smells like mashing in on most brewdays. A touch of molasses and dusty chocolate. Flavors are dry, a bit too roasty (for the style and my tastes, it ends up a bit acrid), caramel, nuts. Bitter. Abrupt finish. Medium bubbles. Pretty dry.
