The aroma is black licorice and caramel. Decent lacing on thsi one. The taste is a bit watery with light caramel. Not too much going on with this one, would not consider this a ESB. andymccabe501 (5), England does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 11, 2007 looks good, smells good , tastes good.

| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Sep 10, 2007 This beer seems to get decent ratings but i really disliked this beer .. First off, not to bitch about price but this really is to expensive, Especially for this kind of brew .. Medium sized head for a bitter .. Smells of used socks and old biscuits .. Taste is just a muddled mess, quite disgusting actually! .. Avoid at all costs!! LordCorkscrew (945), Ronco Scrivia (GE), Italy
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 9, 2007 Updated: Sep 18, 2007La prima bitter in bottiglia che mi piace, devo a Wells e ad Ettore questa piacevole scoperta allo Unicorn di Brescia, assaggiata dai bicchieri altrui. Piacevolmente ’gommosa’ e dolce per bilanciare il luppolo, tuttavia ben luppolata (nel finale l’amaro prende piede). Bene.______________ENGLISH TEXT HERE______________First bottle bitter I like, I owe to Wells and to Ettore this pleasant discover, at the Unicorn pub in Brescia, sampled from his glass. Pleasantly gummy and sweet to balance the bitterness of hops, which takes place in the finale. Good. Dedollewaitor (3649), Odense, Denmark
