Thames Welsh ESB

Brewed by Felinfoel
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Llanelli, Dyfed, Wales

It is dark red with no head. The smells were toffee, caramel and apple. The flavors did not live up to the initial decent smell. Later on the aroma becomes a dry port. Flavor was very dry with cheap grape wine and slight lime sourness. Not a smooth beer.

Cherrywood in colour with a nice head and sheets of lacing. Nose is malts and whiskey. Flavour is malty with some alcohol and prunes. Too sweet to be called an ESB, but a damn fine beer.

This one is just odd. Deep reddish brown. Aroma is strange - malt, prune, butter. Taster is malt, prunes, toffee with some fuggle hops. Alcohol becomes apparent towards the end. Palate is a little watery. huh?

Copper with a nice tan head. The aroma is malt, floral, notes of brown sugar, toffee, and vanilla. Flavor is moderately sweet, with some bitterness but not ESB quality bitterness. Pretty good stuff.

Suggary nose with lots of whisky to it. The colour is kind of amber and the nose is soft and frothy. The taste has got that sherry feel to it but is very reminding of whisky. Good and one of the better ESB's that I have had.

Enchanting deep red with head that cascades into a nice rocky mountain. Aroma has a hint of raisin, while the flavor is caramel-sweetness with a nice tart ending. Nice.

Bottle. Huge off white head. Garnet color. Nose is hoppy/malty. Taste is of raisin, apple, (just plain fruity), hops, and is slightly sweet. There is a good bitter taste and a sharp finish. The finish is very dry with bitter notes of raisin and caramel. The aftertaste lingers on the tongue for awhile. This is a very well rounded beer. Bitter with a little bit of sweetnes and fruity. Good beer.

Medium brown with hints of red. Head faded quickly. Aroma mostl roast malt with hints of hops. Flavor is somewhat spiced (like some winter beers)--as it warms this is found mostly in the aftertaste, with more licorice.
