Cunningham (2972) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 30, 2011
UPDATED: FEB 9, 2012 On tap at London Bridge. Amber colour with an off white head. Hoppy aroma, with fruity and citric notes. Lots of caramel in the flavour. Also nice fruity and hoppy

Chalsk (936) - North Caldwell, New Jersey, USA - OCT 28, 2011
On cask at Cloverleaf. Pours an amber orange color with a white foam head. Aroma of caramel and earthiness. Has a sweet caramel flavor with a that dry bitter layer common in ESB’s. Decent ESB to this non-ESB fan.

worldbeertaste (1121) - Lancashire, ENGLAND - OCT 11, 2011
Sweet malt and caramel smell. Light caramel brown aroma. Smooth and creamy palate. Sweet caramel malt start and a mild bitter finish. Slowly becomes more watery. But keeps its sweetness. Some flowery hints.

ndon (857) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 16, 2011
Realised ive never put in a rate for this. Cask while watching the football. Aguero has to be the best signing this year. Shame its for City and not Spurs. Anyway, pours copper, with a small creamy off white head. Light spice, caramel, toffee. Dull and muted. Like City were until Aguero came on. Thin

JaKeAFC (316) - ITALY - AUG 6, 2011
Cask, 4.3%, amber color with compact thin creamy off-white head. Almost no carbonation, neither nose. Very smooth and light, but amost no noticeable aroma. Starts sweet and finish into an minimal light bitterness. Watery body, goes down perfectly but need something more.

Jayb0 (916) - Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA - JUL 28, 2011
Cask at Marquess of Angles: light to medium bodied, decent session beer with more malt backbone than some of the other youngs cask offerings. Still a little thin. Nice looking beer.
