A very drinkable beer indeed. Aroma is a minimal one, but becomes some caramel malts with a certain spice to it. Taste is alot fuller, with hops cutting into the toffee malts. Not much in the way of bitterness.

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.

Pours a deep amber color with a tan head. Aroma is malty caramel and a hint of earthy hops. Flavor is malty, caramel, some roasted malts, and a earthy bitter finish.

Not an outstanding bitter, perhaps, but as good as it gets when canned. Some malt and lots of aromatic hops. Very easy drinking and enjoyable on a night when you don’t want anything more complex. Slightly weaker version availoable in Norway.

Bottle... Poured ruby with a thick beige head. Strong malt aroma. Really fizzy palate with flavors caramel, toasted malt and maybe a nutty character. Mild hops which is balanced by a solid sweetness.

From a 568 ml. shaped narrow neck brown bottle with a blurb on the back label, a freshness date stamped on the shoulder of bottle. Poured a clear reddish deep amber with a foamy white head that settled into a thinnish bubbly lacing. Aromas of roasted malts and minerals, fruity with a light spiciness with a little peat. A nice even medium carbonation and a malty crisp, dry and smooth light-medium drinkability. Nice ESB taste, roasted sweet malts with a touch of a peat scotch whiskey, spicy and berry fruity, a bit nutty, and a dry malty and fruity finish with a little caramelized sugar and spice lingering in the palate. A good tasting ESB from Charles Wells, easy, smooth drinkability, highly quaffable.

Aroma of roasted malt and light hops. A copper pour with creamy gooey off white head and lace. Medium roasted malt with a decent lingering finishing evergreen like bitter. A bit of a sulphurish flavor but barely a tick. Carbonation is a tad over the top mouthfeel is ok. A very nice drinker.
