Thames Welsh ESB

Pours brown with a nice beige head. Aroma of nuts and caramel malt. Flavor is sweet, fruity malt, grassy hops, and a tinge of caramel.

Aroma of caramel and brown sugar. Appearance is brown and translucent with creamy head. Flavor of caramel, toffee and brown sugar. Palate is creamy. Alright, but I am not an ESB fan.

Weak aroma of woody malt ringed with cherries. Brown pour with a thick yellow head. It tastes very woody from start to finish with a bit of tartness at midpalate and a peppery bite. Pretty neat.

bottle, dark chestnut color with good tan foam, sweet caramel and nuts aroma, flavor has a good amount of caramel but fruity and slightly sour, good esb

A very nice ESB that I really didn’t have too much expectations for. The pour is a deep brown, reminded me of the color of maple syrup, slightly hazy with a scant 1/2" white head. Aroma starts out a bit leathery, brown sugar and a touch of caramel. Flavor has some toffee, green apples, and eathyness to it. Very nice.

1/30/2008: Welsh ESB pours a golden orange color. It has a medium to large beige-colored head that is floamy and deposits lots of lacing residue from the top to the bottom of the glass. The aroma is like sweet almond paste. The beer has flavors of amaretto in the front and then some green apple in the finish. It is dry with a moderately bitter finish. It also has a medium body and soft and smooth texture. This beer is definitely not a typical ESB and is just OK overall.

16.9 fl. oz. bottle (6% a.b.v.). Rating #232 for this beer.

Dark red-brown with a thick off white loose foam. Grassy aroma, caramel, toffee and fruit. Taste is caramel, fruity and sweet malt, very earthy hops, grass, hay.

Pours fairly dark with a nice 1 inch head with some lacing. Taste is not as good as the aroma. The nose is caramel and brown sugar the taste very smooth with a sweet finish.
