Commercial Description:
Bitch Creek perfectly balances big malt sweetness and robust hop flavor for a full bodied, satisfying mahogany ale. Like the stream for which it is named, our Bitch Creek ESB is full of character... Not for the timid.

(bottle) cloudy reddish brown with small off white head. Lots of suspended sediment, but no funny tastes really. Aroma of sweetish malt. Flavor is caramel malt, a little pine hops finish. Pretty good even though it was apparently inadvertently bottle conditioned or something.

Sampled at GABF 2009. Brownish orange pour. Grapefruit and brown sugar aroma. Cinnamon and floral hop flavor. Pretty good for an ESB.

Had on draft. Nice pour of dark copper and arrived at the table with a still ingering head. Aroma was mostly of malts. Taste was initially bitter with some doughy malts. Some hop spice was also present. Very drinkable.

Bottled. Copper/ Mahogany pour with tan head. Malty aromas with a hint of grapefruit. Hop and bitter finish. Not a bad brew.

Bottle pour, deep murky reddish-brown (mahogany for you fancy types) with a big light beige head that lasts quite a while and laces a bit. Doughy aroma with just a bit of citrus hop. Flavor is very mellow, not very hoppy at all. Toffee sweetness and crystal malt seem to take the forefront and the slight hops share the stage with a bit of yeast. Easy-drinking, with an evident but soft carbonation (tiny bubbles). Very different from a Fullers!

bottle: I like the name/ concept of the beer, right off the bat.Pours cloudy brownish red. The head is thin, but I think it’s just the glass I’m using - I never get a good head out of it. Arouma of toffee and caramel. Taste is big malty, citrusy, but easy hops. smooth and chewy mouthfeel. I can taste the alcohol, which is strange for such an abv. A good brew.
