(Cask) Clear, dark amber with a lacing, off-white head. Lovely fruity aroma. Quite full-bodied with a soft mouth feel and a low carbonation. Lots of dry caramel notes - perhaps even a little burned. Some fruit and vitamin notes. A fairly bitter finish. A very solid ESB. 070208

Draught at the brewpub. Clear amber. Sweet malt aroma. Sweet and lightly buttery with medium to full body and low hop rate. Soft and mild with slight bitter finish. A solid brew, that perhaps fails to catch my interest because of more extrovert options at the brewpub.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear dark amber, small head. Almondy and syrupy, full bodied and really sweet with thick mouthfeel. Lightly roasty with somewhat raw mouthfeel and salty licorice finish. Seems a bit rushed, perhaps longer lagering could help?

Draught at the brewpub. Clear golden. Grassy hops are there, but it’s dominated by bready malt. It’s medium bodied with clean mouthfeel and medium bitterness. It’s more like those modernized, clean Czech lagers, than the good old ones with loads of diacetyl and lots of saaz hops.

Cask at the brewpub. Dark brown. Aroma of coffee and licorice. Dryish and very roasty with soft mouthfeel. It has a nice malt character, and this is combined with a wealth of hops. Even though the finish may be soewhat raw or indistinct this one goes down as an excellently crafted English style cask porter.

Cask at the brewpub. Copper colour, grassy nose. Sweet with clean crystal malt character. There’s some toffee and a salty bitterish finish, but the simplistic malt character makes it far less interesting than it’s lighter brother, Bob Hudson.
