(50 cl bottle at Café 3 Små Rum, Göteborg)
On May 9, 2008
Clear dark copper color, white head. Swet and spicy scent, sugary and malty. Thin and slight acidic malty and sugary sweet taste, a bit roasted. Thin mouthfeel, low bitterness. A bit flat. I did expect much, but in the end found this mostly boring.

Jul 8, 2008 500ml bottle from Nelson Wines. I agree with Ian, this is more an ESB than an old ale. Mid brown with a peristent small cream-coloured head. Bready malt aroma and a dry, slightly fruity taste. Solid and enjoyable.

Jun 23, 2008 500ml bottle from Utobeer. Malty ESB. Clear deep russet colour with thin beige head. Coffee and dry malt and deep red fruit aroma. Something berry-ish about it, hedgerow/herb. I want to say juniper berries. It has this hardness to it, from what? The water, the pasteurisation/filtration? Lots of dry malt and not a great ESB, but still fine.

saxo (2061), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark
May 29, 2008 Sample at Aarhus beerfestival. Medium head with medium duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are malt, hops and caramel. Bitter finish. Reminds me more of an esb than an old ale.
