Sampled at the Sam Smith tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 2.5.09. Pours a deep amber with a medium off-white head. Malty aroma with some caramel influence and hops. Caramelly semi-sweet flavor up front with hops in the finish. Not bad.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy amber color with a medium creamy off white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a strong fruit malt with raisin and prunes. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet malt with a bitter quicky finish. Easy to drink a good ESB from Samuel Smith.

Poured from 550ml bottle into dimpled mug. Aroma - Amber malt with some dried fruit and caramel faint grassy hops. Appearance - Copper-red in color. Large, creamy, off-white head with excellent retension. Flavor - Predominant malt taste with dried light fruit. Just the right amount of hop bitterness. Palate - A bit slick at first but cleans up well on the finish. Overall - This, like all the other Samuel Smith products, is spot on. Nothing big or adventurous, but true to the original style and reasonably priced.
