| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Obtained as part of the Captains pack. Very nice brew but not as bitter as I am used to by ESB. Still the flavor was nice and had an excellent spiced flavor that lasted. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Mar 3, 2007 Bottle from Total Wine, notched best before April 2007. Pours a copper color with a light white fluffy head. Aroma is next to non-existent. Taste is caramel and a bit of hops to chase it. Lives up to the bitter billing, but there is nothing "extra special" about this beer. Meh. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2007 Nice aroma of malts with some faint hops present in the nose. Flavor is decent with malts and caramel, and a good hop character but not overly dominant. Nice mild bitterness on the finish. Not the best ESB, but good. Clean tasting, and a definite spicy hop flavor to accompany the malts. JDUB (170), Beautiful Venice Beach, California, USA
