Nov 27, 2008 Bottle from Sainsbury’s. Obviously not going to be a patch on a good version of the cask, but this is an exceptional beer in its own right. Dark coppery colour with a frothy off-white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma with hints of yeast. Taste is a perfect balance of hops and malt, sweet and bitter with a complex long, rich finish. Perfect level of carbonation. This is a truly class act.

Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. ESB: yum. Very very dry finish. Kinda like if you combined a High Life and more awesomeness. About as balanced as a beer gets, with a slight hop awesomeness coming in with the finish.

Nov 1, 2008 Bottle, 50cl. Clear, amber with a long lasting, creamy beige head, leaving some lacing. Caramel malt, some citrusy hops and toffee in the aroma. Malty and sweet flavor of caramel, some orange and dark fruits with some slightly peppery notes, ending in a long lasting bitter aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, crispy carbonation. A fine example of a simple, yet interesting brew. It has many layers, you can find some pretty nice things if you dig out all of them!

Nov 1, 2008 Dark copper pour with a decent but dissapearing head. Taste is malty and sweet, straw, fruit, wheat, and a decent bitter hoppy finish. Decent enough but not spectacular, I much prefer the Fullers 1845.

Oct 29, 2008 very sweet and malty. Seems more lie a lager or double IPA. That said, a very nice beer.

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle pours a rich looking dark mahogany color with a thin, creamy, beige head. Some lacing along the glass. The aroma consists of caramel malts, burnt sugar and dried fruits. The flavor is sweet and malty at first, but quickly follows with the expected bitterness. There is a bit of raisin mixed into the aftertaste as well. Very nice, rich flavour combination with a good balance between the hops and malts.
