Aug 31, 2009 Utterly bad beer i think its just because i like nothing from the fullers range so i am biased.

Aug 23, 2009 Aroma is sweet, with lots of malt and a bit of hops. In the flavour there is good balance between sweetness and bitterness. Maybe something was a little off in the sample I had but it felt flat and boring in my mouth. Still a good offering, I’d like to try it again to see if it is again the case.

Aug 22, 2009 Pours deep amber tall white head. Sweet malty, slightly hoppy aroma. Full rich flavour, lots of goldings. Not bad at all.

Aug 20, 2009 Single bottle into an English pint glass. I really wasn’t impressed by this one, even for the style and reputation of the brewer.

Aug 20, 2009 This has been a favorite of mine for quite awhile. Pours a dark chestnut color with minimal head, due to lower carbonation. Aroma is definite crystal sweetness, some malt complexity, and a minor note of corn (maize). Taste is extremely smooth, very well balanced, and a beautiful marriage of sweet crystal malts, English malts, and British hops. This is an extremely impressive feat, given how far it had to travel to get to me, and the time on the shelf. A tour de force of the style.

500ml brown bottle from Barb’s Beer Emporium in Concord. Pours a translucent copper body with a good inch of off-white head that leaves some good lacing. Caramel and toffee share the aroma with some herbal and floral hops. Caramel, toffee, nut, chocolate, and coffee all jump out initially, with a good amount of herbal, floral grassy hops with just the slightest hints of licorice, banana, and butterscotch. Medium to full in body with moderate carbonation. Super drinkable. One of the best - if not the best - ESB I have ever had. Flavor is so complex and yet complimentary and balanced. I can find almost nothing wrong with this beer - phenomenal.
