Draught at Old Brick’s Inn, Jyväskylä, 5 %. Mahagony color with small head. Sweetish caramelly aroma with perfumed and resiny english hops. Dark caramel leads the flavor followed by toasty, chocolatey and vinous notes. Firm fruity bitterness with fruity-resiny hop flavor. Finishes chocolatey and bitter.

120z pour to a fluffy white head and a nice dark copper color. Laces nicely. Nice aroma of UK hops and malt, all balanced well. Finishes with a strong malt after taste which I expect from the English brewers. Nice session beer but a bit expensive. Fullers is still the ESB of choice.

A nice bitter. Smooth roasted malts, a little bitterness. Easy to drink. Enjoyable.

16oz can. good looking tobacco brown shade with a thick and well formed light tan head. very sweet and malty aroma. toffee and caramel and candied nuts are noticed. soft and grainy english malt profile. lots of caramel sweetness. thin to medium body.

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting off-white body. Clear dark red brown body. Detergents aroma as far as I can judge, I definately do not like it. Weak caramel butter flavor, pretty sweet, low carbonated, short aftertaste, no bitterness. what a disappointment and what a bore.

A decent ESB but I judge a book by it’s cover so I was expecting more from this cool bottle. Aroma of toffee and slight hops. Pour was murky dark gold with a thin ring for a head. Taste was a little caramel and some hops, but it seems to change to water before you swallow. Turning beer to water may be a miracle, but when going for taste, it’s not desireable. Blah

50cL bottle. Pours a clear dark brown with a white head. No real aroma, that carries into the very light flavor. Certainly drinkable but nothing to search out.

Strong? Dark? I found the beer to be neither strong nor dark. Definitely within the "real beer" category, but nothing special about it.
