Clear amber color, small tan head. Minerally metallic aroma with some toffee in it. Malty, licorice flavors, salty-hoppy finish. Mouthfeel slightly thin for an ESB. A bit similar to some Fullers’ products. JensenTaster (1588), Denmark

Gode/deep brown in color and both sent and taste is kind of square, hard ans young, although of the name. Very strong lash of wood and barreloil in the finish. Oh yeh, as Dalle says, pine in there too. NosirIwont (1186), Aalborg Vestby, Denmark

Lovely fresh floral aroma. Rather light with some nutty notes. Not overly bitter - the hops add mostly aroma. Very classical bitter. 060601 MesandSim (5955), London, Greater London, England

Tobacco, marzipan and manure in what I can only describe as an unusual aroma. Good looking redish amber appearance but with poor head retention. Creamy, slightly effervescent(sp?) flavour with some enjoyable fruit notes plus some slight liquorice and coconut. A solid English beer. Still not sure about that aroma though!
