Jul 19, 2005 (Cask) Sample at Clark’s Ale House in Syracuse, NY. Pours headless with a deep copper body. Oily texture with a buttery nose. The flavour is mildly buttery atop a caramel maltedness. It finishes with a mildly sharp floral hoppiness. Above average.

Oct 16, 2007 Cask at Barcade. The end of the cask with associated yeast. Muddy dark brown beer. Aroma of soft earthy chocolate, caramelly maltiness and a very yeasty flavour. The finish shows a lovely UK earthy/spicy hop flavour. Earthy and fairly persistent bitterness. Even in this condition, it’s not bad, and if I’d arrived a bit earlier it would have been even better. Some fairly assertive cherry/berry esters. Lingering cocoa.

Mar 1, 2007 Sampled at the brewery. Dark brown and no head in the plastic cup. Not as strong as I would expect from an ESA. Pleasant though. Sharp, hoppy finish.
