[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A bright amber pour with a scummy looking cream head; malty aroma; rather thin in the mouth at first with a toffee malt taste, then expanding into a drier biscuity body with a spicy bitterness; before a jammy fruity finish. A nicely put together ESB.

Pours a clear golden colour with a small fine foamy white head. The aroma is light floral and citrusy with some tropical notes. Good lacing, a moderately sweet taste, sweet malts, hint of biscuit, citrus and tropical flavours with a moderate bitter finish.

Bottle from Budgens, Swanage. Burnt caramel and cloves, underlying sweet banana puree, in the aroma. As I go in for seconds I pick up coffee. Opaque dark brown. For the style it is surprisingly clear. Very thin and patchy translucent white head. Initial sour edged bitternes. The latter gets stronger. Grainy. Charcoal. Sour berries. Cloves most prominent into the finish. The vaguest traces of underlying sweetness want to be heard but are smothered. Medium bodied. Slick to creamy. Average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Not a classic of the style in my limited experience - more like a cross with a straight up Dunkel, perhaps. Still, enjoyable enough.

Half-pint, cask at Philharmonic. Thanks to Kevin. Lacing rings down the glass, clear golden, filmy layer. Bread and leaves on the nose. Moderate taste profile of biscuit, bread, and mid-sweet fruits. Distant bitter finish. Satisfying. (Liverpool 27.01.2020).

Delt med Rune - i heftig konversasjon med en real Scouser: Kevin. Gylden. Kjeksaroma. Lavt tett skum. Lett plommearoma. Smaken mest plommer. Tørr avslutning.
