Jan 15, 2005 Copper body with a light tan head. Great lacing and retention. Pretty malty aroma, with hintso of carmel. Not much hop presence. The flavors were also leaning more to the malty side, finishing crisp and herbal.

Jan 12, 2005 Beer pours burnt orange color with a smallish lightly retained egg white head. Aroma is enticing with strong caramel malt as well as a lesser perceived hop bitterness. Flavor is pleasently malty with caramel. The hop flavor is one I am not used to and is quite subtle by American standards. Gets better as it warms though it seems to have a bit of an off aftertaste.

Dec 2, 2004 Particularly malty profile: metallic caramel mostly. Slightly hopped, surprisingly modest considering the ingredients. Aroma is plagued by the alchohol - doesn’t blend well, almost a bit varnishy, or like nail polish remover. It’s not all dark days here though, the aroma is actually quite nice despite this and the palate is a bit memorable, the balance isn’t bad for an ESB and when still a bit cold it was farily tasty. Don’t let this one warm too much on you.

Nov 20, 2004 Dark coppery red in color with a thick head that lasts for much of the glass...Aroma is floral with some spiceyness...Taste is initially dominated by caramel but is quickly followed by a bitter slightly acidic hop character...This one is a bit thin through the middle...Thanks to Gromit for sending me this one

Sep 23, 2004 Mahagony color, malty caramel flavors start then floral hops come into play. Nice balance, very drinkable.

Sep 7, 2004 Updated: Aug 21, 2007Rerate I think the first time I had I spilled half of it on my bed in a hotel room in Seward, Alaska and not sure if I really captured the essence of it - Nothing’s really changed - still a solid bitter - excellent for session material if it were a wee bit lower in alcohol. . Original 3.6 Dark copper appearance, light off-white head. Slightly spicy-sweet aroma with an underlying malty wort-like essence. Good balanced bitter flavor with some spicy-sweet (nutmeg, cinnamon etc) notes and a good balancing raisiny sweetness to it. Sits just right. Very good bitter.
