Initially pouring this beer, I had about 1/2 an inch of beer, and the rest of the pint glass was head. Eventually I got it to pour. A little old perhaps? Deep coppery amber, with a huge almond head. Smells very much like an ESB, in a british way. Kind of nutty, with a bunch of malt, light fruitiness, and just a touch of hops. Flavor is fairly rich. Medium bodied, tons of carbonation, which I could have done without. Nutty ringwood finish, with a touch of hops and malt sweetness. If it wasn't for the carbonation, I would have liked this beer much more.

Oct 1, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours clear amber, topped with a large beige head. Aroma of malt, toffee, earth and mild hops. Flavor is initially sweet, with toffee, peat, and tea. Earthy hops gradually build and provide a fairly long finish. Very drinkable.

Sep 19, 2008 Pours a nice coppery, amber color with
little head. Aroma of earthy, roasted
malt with a note of (possibly) coffee.
Somewhat thin palate. Peaty, malty
flavor with some hops bite lingering.
A bit better than I expected it to be.

Jul 28, 2008 12oz - Rock solid from start to finish. Copper colored liquid under frotyhy tan head. Healthy carbonation of small bubbles. Nice bright citrus hops on nose. Palate is nice too, with malt fading to spice (nutmeg) and hops. A pleasant, well constructed, memorable New York brewed ale.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottle. Crystal clear copper color w/ ephemeral head. Smells slightly of butterscotch. Malty, slightly fruity (but pulls back dry) and with earthy, spicy hops. Kind of a mess, but not flavorless. Carbonation is sharp.
