Commercial Description:
Extra, extra? You better believe it. We like to say it’s double extra special. The balance of malt and hops makes it truly one-of-a-kind. Warming malt notes at the onset with a hop kick in the back and opens up to a nice dry finish. Our small batch ESB is a big, strong traditional ale with characteristics that break tradition and a complexity that constantly surprises.

Draft at the brewpub. A deep brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet and very nutty combined with a light note of alcohol, leading to a dry nutty and bitter finish.

Bottle thanks to ChainGangGuy: Pours a transparent mahogany brown with a thin, finely-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy, bready malts and some earthy piny English hops. Body starts fairly full with a decent sweetness and mildly citrusy bittering hoppy bite. Finishes crisp and bittersweet with a lingering drier bitterness. A pretty nice ESB.
