popkow (107), New York, New York, USA Jan 6, 2008 Big fan of this beer. Poors a ruby brown that is llightly cloudy. It taste to me like a brown ale with a hint of raspberry that has been smoked. The body is medium with a clean slighy bitter finish. gmonroe10 (172), Netherlands Jan 6, 2008 A nice looking red, smells of fruit certainly palpable. Medium hoppiness, but very weak on the palate- not complex at all. oteyj (714), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Jan 3, 2008 ESB... really? This is not your typical premium bitter. Very dark and very rich, but extremely drinkable. Aroma is hops with a bit of a nutty quality. Flavours of fruity malt with a nice earthly hop content. Unique. grimreeser (795), Minnesota, USA Jan 2, 2008 Pours a darkish brown with decent tan head. Aroma of caramel, breadiness, some fruit. Solid bitter. chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway Jan 2, 2008 bottle- pours brown with dark tones mahogony maybe? smells spicy tasted malts and grass. taste is bitter but not in a nice hoppy way. it is bitter in a tangy metallic way. if this beer didnt taste so tainted it would be really nice. almost worth the 5 for £4 special at lidl. DenverLogan (421), MileHi, Colorado, USA Jan 1, 2008 Rich brown color; significan lingering head. Earth, cardboard, malt and carob aroma. Roasty malts, bread, bitter nuts and hops. Moderate body with some bitter and mineral notes in the finish. clasley (153), Arkansas, USA Dec 28, 2007 500 ml bottle. Pours a dull mahogany with an ample tan head. Malty nose with a touch of fruit. Roasty malt profile balanced by an adequate bitterness. pepsican (883), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA Dec 28, 2007 Poured dark brown with a thick white head. Caramel malt in the nose. Flavor of caramel malts, hops, bread, and slight hints of dark fruit. Finishes finishes average with a slight bitterness. Decent.
