Jan 26, 2008 Some dusty caramel with mild green apple in the aroma. Auburn hued with a nice thick white head. Sticky caramel in flavor with a dollop of noble English hops and a twinge of alcohol. Interesting take - like a kicked up amber. Thanks Brad.

Jan 23, 2008 12 oz bottle pours reddish brown. Aroma is fruit and malt. Flavor is of malt and ripe fruit. There is not a whole lot of bitterness as would be expected from the ESB style.

Jan 22, 2008 Pours a beautiful red with a small, but respectable head, and some light lacing. Well balanced aroma of bitter hops, fruit and caramel. Flavor has some alcohol and is more malty and not as bitter as the style would call for. Finishes dry, but not overly. Full body mouth that finishes abruptly. Overall its a well balanced beer, but more reflective of a winter seasonal Strong or Brown Ale than an ESB. Good brew, worth trying.

Jan 13, 2008 Pours close to the color of a brown ale. Almost no head at all. Some sweet aroma. The flavor is similar to an old ale with a lot of hop bitterness. I do not like the hop variety used. Strange dirt character to it.

Jan 12, 2008 12oz bottle. Good sweet fruit arona on the nose. Red body with decent head. Good cherry fruit flavor and the medium bitter finsh was good for me. Sometimes this style is too over bitter with nothing else there but not this one. Godd brew.

Jan 11, 2008 12-oz bottle. Pours hazy brown with a spare, white, mostly diminishing head, fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, nutty), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough) with notes of grape, port, and cola. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness.
