dark amber, with clean pleasant aroma. A touch astringent in the mouth, nothing standing out in the flavours sightly doughy/biscuity. Nothing wonderful.

Dec 20, 2009 Deep clear mahogany, thin off white head, very light lacing.
Aroma is toasty, nutty, light caramel malt sweetness.
Flavour is a bit thin but has the same qualities as the aroma.
Bitter mouth, light body, med carb.
Finishes good length, roast, caramel sweetness.
Started off pretty slow and flavourless but as it warmed became more enjoyable.
500ml bottle purchased at the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
Opened on September 13, 2009.
No date.

Dec 13, 2009 500ml bottle (K CM, Kamppi)
Rich red, thin bready head. Slightly woody aroma, some honey. Pleasant
carbonation, soft palate. Taste pleasantly bitter, some barkiness, soft
malty body with some residual sugars. Finish quite simple, a few odd
chemical vapours appear briefly, gently bitter with some drying noble
hops. Not bad for 4.4%, quite full flavoured but certainly sessionable.

Nov 22, 2009 This ESB poured a dark orange colour with a nice creamy white head. To the nose there are scents of raisins, sweet dark malts, bread, hopps and a little caramel. First taste is very creamy but a litle watery. Flavours of ripe fruit and hopps are the most prodominant with off flavours of grass and wood. Finish is hoppy with ripe fruit lingering.

Nov 6, 2009 Bottled (from K Citymarket, Vaasa). Copper colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is grassy and floral hops along with some slight malty notes. Flavour is quite much the same with some mild nutty notes as well. Mild wooden notes as well. A bit like a lighter version of Fullers ESB.
