Hazy red copper colour. Sweet malt aroma. Not unpleasant but not my kind of thing. ESB style with strong fruity malt and pepper hop on the end. FatPhil (2063), Espoo, Finland Jun 9, 2007 Cask, (Kitty’s, Helsinki)
Slightly fruity sweetness on the nose. Bitter notes too. In the mouth, however, it was enormously malty, and extremely creamy. Tranquillity (1029), Espoo, Finland May 1, 2007 Cask @ some pub in Helsinki. Pale orange/brown colour, beige head. Aroma of nuts, christmas spices. Taste bitter (chocolate?) and oak. Short finish, nothing special. But the beer was served very cold unfortunately, so it might deserve more points.
