Nov 28, 2006 Updated: Dec 14, 2006Drank in an English Pint. Clear golden poor with a sticky white head. Aromas of vanilla creme brule, old whiskey barrells, toffee, Worthers original?... Long dry aftertaste. This beer should defnitely be tasted chilled as per its instructions. You can definitely taste what you smell, just not as impressive. Extra added hints of maple syrup. Good bitterness.

Nov 28, 2006 Bottle. Very clear light golden colour, with a light creamy like yellowish head. Very special aroma I thought. A mix of oak, roast, malt, coffee, whisky hits your nose. A meticulous examination of the sniff, gives you hints of hop and grassy notes as well. Mouth feel is not that powerful as the previous description would let you to believe. Medium bodied. Considering the bouquet, it is reasonable complex. The strong point is defiantly the bouquet and the finish, which is almost a full display of the before described aroma. Medium bitter-sweet and well balanced. Nice surprise and the best “Extra Special Bitter” so fare. Was able to compare it with “Morland Old Speckled Hen” that just seams monotonous compared with this ESB!.....well that is just my subjective opinion.

Nov 27, 2006 Updated: Aug 16, 2008Slight hint of honey and whisky and sweet oak. Great clear orange colour. Good carb. Nice frothy head. Tastes a little of whisky, smooth. Leaves a malty taste. Not my cup of tea. Definitely an interesting beer.

Nov 23, 2006 Picked up this clear 11.2oz bottle at Harry’s Marietta. Color of honey. White fizzy head. Aroma of an ashtray. Cigarette ashes? I got the aroma of the oak but it is more specifically of a Winston. Easy drinking. With lots of flavors of wood. Oh, its in the taste. Balanced malt/hop palate. Don’t know if it is worth the $5 dollar retail, hate to dee what it costs in a bar!

Nov 18, 2006 Strong, euro lager aroma with faint caramel malt and hints of butterscotch. Crystal clear amber body with a slightly off-white, frothy, lasting head and some lace. Flavoful with a high alcohol aspect, sweet. Clearly not an American beer in character. Oak aged quality is there but doesn’t add much except perhaps for some strength. Toffee and wood flavors in the finish. Quite tasty.

Nov 17, 2006 Normally I don’t like this kind of odd hopped aroma, but this time its spiced with coconut-notes, perhaps from the oak. The coconut is in the flavor too, real present. Clear and amber colour. Head is off-white and mainly lasting. Palate is a bit thin.
