(On tap) Black with small tan head. Aroma of roast malt with hints of nuts and chocolate. Medium body, gentle carbonation. Sweetish start, develops pleasant dark roast notes. A bit watery. Pleasant enough if a bit light.

330ml bottle into pint glass (as Emerson's 1812 Pale Ale). Clear bronze beer, creamy white head, a myriad of tiny bubbles. Patchy lacing. Nose is earthy hops, pepper and citric fruit. Zingy and fresh with a bitter hop kick then a long lingering citric finish. There's some toffee in the background too. Excellent pale ale. Complex and moreish.

330ml bottle into pint glass. Hazy amber beer with thin fluffy white head. Medium carbonation. Surprising aroma of soft doughy malt. Good body, bitter taste with grainy notes. Sharply bitter finish is great. Late late fruity dryness encourages more quaffing. Great Pils.
