Aug 30, 2007 Updated: Aug 12, 2009It poors a dark copper colour with a quickly disolving head that leaves behind a nice creamy film, good lacing. Aroma is carmally, with notes of dried fruit . Was expecting more balance, but good enough, good malt flavours throughout, lots of butterscotch. A little chewy for a bitter, and not as balanced as I would have liked, but still tasty and refreshing.

Aug 29, 2007 Dandy! Nutty reddish brown color. Nice hops, very bitter and thirst-quenching. Sets the standard for the ESB style.

Aug 29, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clean clear copper color with minimal white head. Powerful malty aroma with some hops. Complex and rich. Good lacing. Taste is rich with malts up front and hints of hops at the back end. Sweet beer!

Aug 28, 2007 Didn’t realize that I hadn’t had this one rated before. Obviously, this is a good beer. A nice light flavor with good balance.

Aug 27, 2007 pours a clear caramel color with a nice two finger fluffy bubbly off white head. aroma is toasted malt and English hops. has a medium body with descent lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. has a dry hop aftertaste and has a little spice and bite from the hops and carbonation. little bit thin but not bad. as it warms there is a little of the standard apple cider flavor that i associate with esbs’.

Aug 23, 2007 Bottle. Pours a gorgeous rich amber, like a fine cognac. Creamy head all the way down with lacing. Aroma of malty bread, a distinct buttery diacetyl, and a hint of herbal...nice. Smooth mouthfeel with a little effervescence. Flavor of lightly sweet malt and that buttery note again. Slightly bitter hops briefly on the finish which mingles with a lasting sweet maltiness. A bit pricey at nearly $10/ 6 pack. I agree with Beershine: would like to try it on tap

Aug 23, 2007 A classic bitter from the mighty Fuller’s. Medium brown/amber in color. Wheaty-sweety nose with malty, caramel to coffee taste. A light bitter finish.

Aug 21, 2007 Draught: Aroma a bit hard to smell because of so many goddamn cigarettes in the bar. Anyway, smells of caramel malts. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, creamy, off-white head that lasted throughout. Small lacing. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Flavor was lightly sweet. Tasted of malts, caramel, cream, and some floral hops. Really tasted like Boddington’s Pub Ale. Light to medium body. Oily texture. Soft carbonation. Creamy, malty finish. Not bitter at all.
