Oct 25, 2009 12 oz. bottle- Pours dark amber with a thin white head, aroma is of sweet malt with a subtle spiciness. Flavor is very English, more malty than hoppy, but better than the average American ESB.

Oct 22, 2009 ...bottle into hobgoblin glass in gift set. Looked great, poured a dark murky brown, with a decent tan head and lacing. Nice toasted notes, with some chocolate, dark sugars, coco, and a hint of dark fruit. I was rather surprised with this brew, but it’s expensive as hell here. Finished nice and smooth, creamy, with some fruity notes. IT was pretty damn good, I have to say.

Oct 22, 2009 Named after a fearsome mythical creature, there’s nothing too scary about this beer. It’s actually pretty easy to drink, with elements of chocolate, toffee, brown sugar and toasted bread. Hints of apples and pears surface in the background, along with a mild yet balancing bitterness.

Oct 22, 2009 50cl dark brown(!) bottle, as shown.
Pours a dark copper with medium-sized, moderately creamy beige head. Plenty of lacing.
Aroma is sweetish: toffee, hops and malt mingle - a good preview of what is about to follow.
Medium-bodied dark ale is surprisingly thick in texture, creamy in mouth feel. Very, very nice.
Flavour is caramel, or mildly chocolaty malt, and a touch of dark berries for sweetness. Dry, moderately bitter finish and lingering, slightly alcoholic after taste. Smooth drink!
A well-rounded, nicely balanced dark ale - somewhere between a bitter and a stout. Not really a "premium esb" like Fuller’s e.g. Highly sessionable, too. Another winner from Wychwood.
