I’ve always been a big fan of Schlafly and they didn’t let me down this time either. I put this ESB in my top 10 favorite beers. weeicemon (126), Lancaster, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 19, 2008 I’am usually suspicious of the so called "Winter" brews so expectations were not really high. While not the end all, I really enjoyed this beer. The cloudy amber liquid leaves nice ribbons down the glass and has a pleasent malty nose that shows in the flavor. It did leave a very slight bitterness in the back of the mouth which brought down it’s palatte score but overall but still a fine brew. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 7, 2008 courtesy of indra... pours a copper shade of amber with a small white head. aroma is slightly metallic, a bit woody or dry herbal, caramel, citrus (hops?) and white white vinous. flavor is pretty much the same with a mild grassy hop finish. it’s akin to an oaky lemony chardonnay really. it leaves a fruity floral aftertaste. light bodied but it gets creamy when sloshed. mouth feel is again similar to white wine. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 7, 2008 From the brewery on 12/4/07. Aroma is nondescript, flavor is dominated by caramel and toffee. Just a hint of alcohol as well. Nice amber/copper appearance. Hops seem like an afterthought, which is a little wierd. Definitely improved as it warmed. yjb (110), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
