Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: ruddy burnt orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slowly dissipated to barely leave much lace.
Aroma: herbal and earthy English hops, clean malts, subtle biscuity/bready character further underneath
Flavor: mostly herbal and earthy smooth maltiness but not too sweet, it's somewhat biscuity, super smooth malty/earthy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable, clean herbal finish
Overall: an ESB I would return to and would love to have again with some fish n' chips.

Taster at Paragon, 12/11/25. Dark brown color, thin beige head. Sweet, chocolate dominated, underlying roast. Smooth. Slightly cloying, but not overly so. Tasty, especially in small pours.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, modest carbonation. Light pale malts, trace of grain, some creamy sweetness. Perfumey pine into candyish tangerine and mandarin peel. A little marmalade. Light and semi dry finish. Mildly amusing.

Canned 10/21/25, drunk 11/19/25.
Not intensely dark with some lighter tan shades and a medium-sized, tan head that recedes steadily to light cover. Some chunky floaties in the bottom.
Rich fudge but not too sweet, as it's cut with dark chocolate and lactose. This one seems to have a bit more lactose character than usual, but I can't imagine there's any more actual lactose in it. Still a well-constructed nose with caramel, minimal roast, lots of chocolate and playful fudge.
Soft and lightly creamy with a rich, elegant fudginess. No excess sugar here, though I still get the lactose, albeit it's not horrendously prevalent. Like the last few GD's I've had, it's just a well-made, malty, well-attenuated beer. Really nice to see a "double fudge" addition that doesn't result in a sweet beer.
