500 ml bottle from the LCBO. pours beautiful dark red with a rocky tan head that lingers and laces. the aroma is muted but what there is typically malt forward english ale. initially you think the flavours will be similar because they start off very malty but then there is a huge bitter finish. the finish really clashes with the rest of the brew. not bad but id rather a wellington iron duke if i feel like an ESA.

Smell of malt with a hint of coffee. mid brown with a good size off white head. Had a strong malty taste. Slight carbonation and was thick and full bodied.

I tried this beer on August 1, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a very dark brownish red, with a thin tan head. The aroma was caramel malt, and wood. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, creamy, and medium carbonated. The flavour was caramel malt, some spice, and a little bit of hops.

Pours a dark reddish-brown, with a very large foamy head that stands up. Smell is malty, sweet and toasty. Taste is a bit dissapointing, burnt malt and some sort of soapiness in the background, not great in my opinion.

Appears an auburn/brown with a small tan head that dissipates in no time. The trademark caramel/toffee of the style is present with some fruit and nut nuances. Palate delivers more of the same with nutty malt dominating early to give way to some piney notes and medium hop bitterness rounding out the back palate.

Bottle sample, TFOB ’08. Great malty aroma, lots of spice and some alcohol. Taste follows, more chewy malt, strong ESB like hops and a roasty finish. Dark orange/brown a good sized white head. A nice sipper that tastes stronger than it is - cannot wait to get my hands on more of these.

Decent, almost all malt beer. Nice caramel nutty flavor to it. Kind of fruity as well with some dark fruit flavors. Not much for hops, but that is expected. Nothing really stands out, but it is a pretty drinkable beer overall.

50 cl bottle, bought at Tesco, Liverpool. Brown color, nice big beige head. Aroma is fruity. Flavor is fruity with malt, hints of hops, caramel sweetness and a bitter finish.
