Nov 2, 2006 Malts, caramel, nice hop texture, and some tart apples linger throughout the aroma. Appearance is a copper clear pour with a minimal off white head that lingers for quite a while. Taste is caramelized malts, a dry grainy texture, bitter, a pine note, and crab apples. Palate is dry, bitter, lightly carbonated and short. Overall, It’s a decent ESB maybe on the high end of the ESB latter.

Oct 17, 2006 Poured a thick amber red/brown colour with a decent size creamy head. Butterscotch like taste. Malty with a fairly hoppy finish. Very good ESB overall. I would love to have this again.

Oct 8, 2006 Bottle - Pours copper with short tan creamy head that stays well and laces a little on the way down the glass. Aromas of raisins, over caramel malts. Flavor is good caramel malts, some toffee notes as well with a short bitter citrus finish. Smooth and easy drinking palate with medium body and a crisp finish. Pretty fair beer all in all.

Oct 1, 2006 Strong, pronounced character with fresh-baked cookies texture and chocolatey-coffee flavour. Thick and rich pour with frothy head. I enjoyed this beer so much the first time I drank it, I lost track of how fast I was drinking it. This is the kind of beer that goes very well with a plate of fine cheeses, crackers and meats. Made to be savoured!

Sep 29, 2006 Bottle: Redish amber with a large off-white head and lots of bead in the glass. Plenty of prune-like esters over some slightly metallic and cardboardy crystal malts. Fairly well done, really. In the mounth things go down hill sadly; nice toffee sweetness with some woody herb hop notes, but the classic British bottled dead palate rears its dispicably ugly head and completely takes over around mid-palate. From there on it’s dead malts and astringent bitterness.
