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.

Aug 20, 2007 Updated: Oct 1, 2007Pours a beautiful amber hue with foamy off white head. Sweet Bready nose. Caramel and malt create the flavor, with a slight bitterness. Quite clean, also, with dried fruit finish. Nice offering.

Aug 20, 2007 A really nice, reliable beer readily available in bottles and I’d love to access this on tap sometime. A good standard.

Aug 20, 2007 I had a can of this the day after I had had a pint rom the cask, and it was intresting to note the differences. Not as complex, or as fruity and it seemed to have picked up some metallic flavours. Better on tap.

Aug 17, 2007 Bottle. I haven’t had this beer in quite some time, I even remember having this before I knew what "ESB" stood for. Of course, now that I know, this is a superb example of what a bitter should be. Nice caramel and malt notes, and a nice bitter finish.

Aug 13, 2007 Copper, clearish color with a small head. Smell is mostly caramel like malt with a hint of alcohol at times with the caramel. Tastes like lightly bitter smooth liquid caramel. Almost a light burnt sugar taste because of the light bitterness with a touch of alcohol. Decent, drinkable beer, but not my preferred style.

Aug 11, 2007 Awwww yeah, can’t go wrong with a Fullers. Pours dark amber, but clear, all malt in the nose, and malty on the gums with a little bit of bitterness in the finish. Excellent, excellent beer.

Aug 10, 2007 deep caramel look and taste. Sweet, some carbonation, very little bitterness or even hop presence. Soft, even chewy mouthfeel. I was a little confused at first. Not what i expected, but i don’t mean this as a negative. No "bite" attached to this, purely smooth and creamy
