Cask handpull at The Roscoe Head, Liverpool. Very deep chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Roasty toasty ESB with rather lovely fruit. Wow, now that is a really good ESB. One of the best ESB aromas I’ve smelt. The toasty malt and deep jammy fruit are stunning. Full in mouth. If it had a peppery hop finish, I wouldn’t leave the pub. Drying hop on finish. Lovely malts throughout.

From cask at Charlies. Pours dark brown with an orange glare. Lacing off-white head. Hard roasted malt and coffee aroma. Flavour is hardroasted and coffee-ish with a distinct liqourice note. Nice liqourice and hard roasted acidic finish.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A deep red beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet and very malty with notes of both caramel and toffee. The flavor is sweet maltyh with notes of caramel and fruit, leding to a bitter finish. More bitter hops than aroma hops. The body is thin.
