Apperance is a very dark copper in color, with a off white to tan head that dissapated very fast. Some lacing on sides of the glass. Smell is of a low malt with a somewhat nutty aroma present. Taste was excellent, somewhat of a malty carmel flavor. Little or no bitter aftertaste. Very moderate in carbonation. Drinkability is excellent, will drink this again.

Appearance: Dark, ruddy, and inviting Aroma: Warm, enticing. Flavor: ’Sublime, a hint of chocolate/toffee and caramel with a fantastic English hop presence. Palate: Smooth and supple. Overall: A brown ale that leaves Newcastle behind in the dust. Highly recommended. Try with a good grass-fed burger, or anything with mushrooms.

Pours nice nice amber color with moderate carbination. Aroma is mostly malty. Taste is more like a weak brown ale, not memorable at all.

Deep amber-red color, almost ruby. Very little head and carbonation. Chocolate, caramel, and malty aroma. Smooth, flavor was malty and smoky with a watery finish and bitter aftertaste. Good beer.

First off, nice bottle and image.. very cool! Maybe my first ESB. It had a swartzbier’ish nose, nice dark ruby pour which retained nearly no head. Mildly syrupy and maybe a bit watery at the same time.. finished bitter. Solid brew.

One of my favorite offerings from Wychwood and one of the most available. Very pleasant beer, nice and smooth. Nothing to knock your socks off, but a good drinking beer.

12 oz bottle. This beer was pretty good. Aroma is sweet nut. The taste is nut and roasty malt maybe.

Bottle bought in London. Dark brown with tan head. Creamy with orange aftertase. Distinctive butterscotch taste. Also caramel. Quite powerful and enjoyable. Liked it.
