Can from Garsons Farm Shop, West End. Aroma has roasty cacao over dark berries. Clear-opaque. Thin frothy foamy white head. Big and roasty chocolate maltiness. Sweet berries. Some tartness on the periphery. Some hop action into the finish. As I drink more a caramel undertow appears. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on oily. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent finish. An entertaining if not overly trad ESB.

Can from Garsons Farm Shop, West End. Aroma has spice and light resin. Opaque amber. Thin foamy white head. Initial flava combines citrus with grain spice. Resin edge. Underlying malts. Marmalade but a tad dialled down. Light. Thin if slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Nice enough but kinda lacks depth for me.
