Dark amber colour with an even head; biscuit, cream, yeast, nuts and hop aromas; very bitter taste with cream, vanilla, biscuit and mint aromas; very bitter finish with hop, resin, wood, resin and caramel aromas.
Wonderfully hoppy and bitter. Drinkable but tasty. Very good.

Huge East Kent Goldings aroma. Lively carbonation. Dry woody oak taste. A little sweet. Great ESB hop profile. We asked the brewer and he said there was EKG, Challenger, and some Fuggles too - great!

May 26, 2008 Bottle at Kobehavnske Oldage, May 2006. Copper colour with a slight haze. Clean, spicy hops dominate. There is a hint of grapefruit that one wouldn’t necessarily expect in an ESB. Robust underpinning malt. Decent but rather less forthcoming than the Swing tasted just before.
