| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Bottle… This beer rocks!… Beautiful, clear copper ale with a large, fluffy, off-white head that slowly diminishes to a small, tight crown. The biscuity, malty nose proffers light chocolate and caramel notes. Full-bodied and chewy with moderate carbonation. Lots of delicious, gooey caramel and a dab of milk chocolate. My kind of beer – malty as hell, but generously bittered. Malty, hearty finish with lingering bitterness. Reminiscent of Lake Tahoe Red Ale; a beer that really rang my bell back when it was brewed, circa 2002. Bottle provided by ygtbsm94! CaptainCougar (5527), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Aroma of toasty caramel malts and a touch of English hops. Body start fairly full and caramely sweet with a good balance of English malts and bitterness before a smooth, drinkable finish. A true to style and enjoyable ESB. I’d love to try this on cask. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA
