Bottle. Dark amber pour with a brow creamy head. Aroma has some caramel and malts. and buttery toffee. Taste is bitter and crispy, nice malty finish with some nuts. Quess im a sucker for ESB but this is pretty good.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from Waitrose. No major complaints here, despite being pasteurised. Bright copper/amber colour with a thin white head. Surprisingly hoppy aroma - slightly resinous and flowery - with caramel and plummy fruit. Flavour falls away a bit, concetrating on fruity malt, decoming dry and reasonably bitter on the finish. Solid but unexciting. The cask is better.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a nice shade of amber with a modest head... Sweet malty aroma, subtle fruitiness... Slightly fruity taste with sweet malts... Decent offering, a bit overpriced in the US....
