Nov 21, 2008 Pours a deep burgundy with a nice cream coloured head. Smell is thick and malty with maybe just a hint of spiciness. Flavour is very similar. Very sweet and caramely. The finish is spicy and just a touch bitter. Not much hops otherwise. Carbonation is appropriate for the style, and the mouthfeel is pretty chewy. It’s nothing too exciting, but it’d make a nice session beer.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange-amberish colour with a medium sized tan coloured head. Aroma reminds me of some kind of berry...strawberries perhaps and maybe some cherry. A FIRM malty nose as well. Taste is creamy and pleasent, hops are noticeable initially then it fades into caramel, apples and cinnamon.

Nov 20, 2008 This beer poured a dark copper/amber color with nice white head that lasted a long time. The aroma was fruity but not real prominent. The taste was also of dark fruit with a bit of spice to it as well as a touch of hop bitterness. The mouthfeel was smooth and sort of creamy. I enjoyed this beer and at 5.2% abv, it was an easy drinker.

Nov 18, 2008 The aroma is malty and yeasty with a typical ESB type yeast. The hops are mild. The appearance is deep amber with a decent head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is typical for the style. Overall it’s good stuff.

Nov 3, 2008 (bottle, purchased at “Little Britain”, a small retailer for UK goods, situated in a former residential for Brits in Dortmund, Germany) Clear, amber colour with a mid-sized and light-beige foamy head. Light-sweet, toast-malty aroma with caramel, licorice, subtle lemon-fruity notes and spicy hops. Moderately bitter flavour, rather light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toasty malty base with distinctive fruity notes of red berries and a lighter touch of caramel; dry, bitter and fruity finish with a quite rich and spicy hops character. Good one, could have had a bit more body (27.X.08).
