Jul 19, 2005 12 oz bottle: clear ruby-brown with a slowly diminishing ivory head. Sweet, plumy malt aroma, sticky with caramel, raisins, and lightly honeyed alcohol. A bit of dusty grain and sand noticeable as well. Soft, only lightly carbonated palate delivers a fair bit of chewy malt flavours accompanied by vanilla beans, slightly stale orange rinds, strawberries and hints of chocolate. A very tasty beer, even if it doesn’t remind me of other ESB’s I have tried…

Jun 20, 2005 Chestnut in color (pale brown). Creamy, tan colored head. Very english aroma= earthy hops with a woody character, some toasted caramel, soft bakers chocolate, milk, high-dried bicuity malt, and a diacetyl/estery aroma. Flavor is biscuity malt with some residual sweetness and a touch of toasted caramel. More malt dry than hop bitter. Total palate experience starts with an initial and noticable bitterness underneath the dry-biscuit, full-bodied malt, then the diacetyl/esters takes charge then turns to soft, rich malt and great hop flavors then finishes with an acute sense of itself as an English-style ale.

Jun 11, 2005 This was a beer that improved as it warmed. It poured with a decent head, albiet with large bubbles that foretold a short lived head. The aroma is good but not very strong, with hints of esters and caramel. The flavor is smooth and malty, with a dry finish- hops are in the background here. Less impressive than the Belk’s I had last night, but good.

May 30, 2005 Cheers to DockLock for the Sroudts trade.
The Lady pours a gorgeous bronze body and a thick tan cap of head. The aroma and flavor are boldly malty: with its large notes of burned sugars, hint of honey and a herbal blend fading into the background. I’m finding notes of cereal, particularly Kelloggs Frosted Flakes, “They’re GERT!” Definitely some hoppy bitterness in the finish.. with a hint of lemongrass and a slight suggestion of pine. It’s rather earthy and woody… cedar like spiciness. I Absolutely Love this Brewery!

May 29, 2005 12 oz bottle - Pours copper with a slight offwhite head. Aroma was citrus with a strong background of caramel malts. Flavor is very balanced good sweet malts and a slight hop bitter finish that is quite tasty. On the palate this is medium bodied and really hangs with you. Good beer. I like this brewer.

May 1, 2005 Sampled in the 12 ounce bottle. Good imitation of the style. Poured copper with a minimal white head. Aroma was very fruity and had tea as well. Fruity taste which was not overly bitter. I think Stouts did a pretty good job here.
