Cloudy brown color. Some caramel flavor and aroma, a bit sweet, but too simple.

Coppery body, thin off-white head. Cerealy, toasty aroma with a touch of chocolate. Pleasant, sweet, bready body with earthy, grassy hops, toast, brown sugar, and chocolate. More complex than most ESBs. This beer reminds me of honey smacks. Complex, medium-bodied, and very good. Thanks blankboy!

Bottle: Poured a clear copper color beer with a medium bubbly white head with average retention. Aroma of sweet and fruity malt. Taste is enjoyable without being overly complex with a nice mix of fruity/floral malt and medium hops distinguishable at the end. Lack a bit of character but enjoyable nonetheless.

This one pours a dark brown colour with a short lived head. Heavy molasass scent with strong malty aromas. Slightly fruity scent with a touch of wine. First taste was delicous with lots of malt flavour. The touch of burnt ash from the malt is nice. A little smoke. The finish was a slight bit fruity with the flavours of rip fruit, maybe prunes. The palate is still very tasty with mellowing malt and smoke. Very Tasty

Amber colour with a small light tan head looking a little nitrogenated. Aroma of english malt with a light nuttiness and some slight caramel essences roam in. Flavourful opening to the taste with the english hops most prevalent with some malt and some of that sweetness. Aftertaste is pretty much all english hops with some nuts-very nice! I had this pint on draught at a bar in Toronto, Ontario on 09-April-2004 with my good friend Jon (JONR888710).
