12 oz bottle from DrMartin08 via trade. Thanks! Clear copper with medium white head. Aroma is very hop spice with sweet caramel, very nice. Noble hops with earthy malt, with caramel sweetness, nice bitterness. Medium creamy body. Excelent ESB, one of the better ones out there.

This is the best ESB I’ve had. 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.

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.

Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of perfume, biscuits, some roses. Tastes of caramel, roses, hints of spice. Finish is earthy.

12 oz. bottle, courtesy of DrMatt - thanks for little goodie! Pours slightly hazy coper color with a small head. Buiscits, flowers and honey, orange and clove in the aroma. Flavor features fruity and caramel notes,orange, lemon peel, spice, floral hops, lemon grass and moss. Light to medium body and gentle carbonation.

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.

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.
