Nov 25, 2009 (Old notes) Sampled side by side with the standard ESB with Peter At AleSmith’s tasting bar: Color is reddish-brown with a medium off white head. Aroma is light hop spice. Caramel flavor stood out while the bitterness was lighter than the standard ESB. Medium body is smooth with moderate carbonation.

May 4, 2009 Growler from Smokepot23. Pours dark red boardering on brown with a fading tan head. The nose if very estery with berries and biscuit malts. The flavor is full of fruit as well. Herbal and earthy hops. Very malty. Medium body and very quaffable. Well worth trading for.

Mar 22, 2009 On tap at Alesmith. Much lighter in the nose than the regular Anvil. A clear, sharpness that I didn’y find the the original version. Clear finishing in the palate. Not the same sweet thickness as the original. It’s amazing what yeast’ll do for a brew.

Mar 14, 2009 On tap at the BA Decadence release. The biggest surprise of the day, finding a new brew available for our tasting consideration. A big thanks to Peter and crew for coming up with this. Pours an amber-brown color with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet with roasted grains and honey biscuit. The taste is big with varying bread flavors; rye, biscuit and wheat, with just a touch of biter character. Finish is short and sweet. The mouthfeel is smooth and full. Overall: A well done biter.

Mar 13, 2009 Tasted at the brewery release. Not as tangy as the regular Anvil and much smoother all around. Bread and toffee tastes dominate with a creamy palate and earthy caramel notes replace the fruit tastes in the regular version of Anvil. Damn good.
