Jan 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. Body is cloudy amber red. Aroma is sweet with some sort of spice maybe. The flavor is good, some nuts and dry finish. This was a decent brew.

Jan 20, 2008 Pretty good, very drinkable. Not bitter at all, tasted more like an amber ale. Some decent hop character to it. Caramel malt flavor. Light bodied and a weak finish. Nothing really stands out.

Jan 15, 2008 a dark amber brown with thin beige head. Earthy floral and caramel smell. High on malts and low on hops. not exceptionally bitter - was expecting better as I really enjoyed Stoudt’s DIPA.

Jan 7, 2008 Dark red color with a white head. Not especially hoppy or bitter. Nothing impressive about it, but not much to complain about either.

Jan 6, 2008 Poured scarlet red with small head. Somewhat vegetal aroma with some toffee and gross floral hops. Tasted somewhat similar with a little metallic feeling too. Thin and unpleasant. I am glad I am not the only one to feel that way. By the way, mine might have been a little past the freshness date as it was bottled on 7/6/06. I don’t know about aging an ESB, but it probably did not help .

Dec 24, 2007 Poured a dark red copper color, with a thin off-white head. The aroma was not pleasant--there was a prominent, bitter, metallic smell present. The flavor wasn’t any better: There was no distinguishable malt sweetness, and the hops flavor was grassy, metallic, and very bitter. The feel in the mouth was thin and watery. Underline the B in bitter; this was an unexpected disappointment from Stoudts.

Dec 6, 2007 Bottle. Reddish copper color. Mouthfeel is pretty thin, medium carbonation. Flavor is slightly sweet with some subdued hop presence. Very enjoyable and sessionable.

Nov 30, 2007 12 Oz Bottle. Washed out salty grain husk aroma. Pours a reddish amber with a froth of off-white. Flavor is a thinned out, lightly sweet oak. Not enough density, texture or flavor. Malts are mediocre. Hops behind. Not respectable.
