Growler night #16, picked up at Diamond Knot, Front Street. Cheers. W. Cool to finally try a brew that's been around the northwest for so many years. Darker copper reddish pour. Lots of caramel, bold bready malts, touch of bran. Flavorful bitter thoughout. Caramel malt forward finish. Fun brew, and unique to typical styles on your average taplist around here. Glad this classic has hung on all these years.

Poured into a pint glass, the appearance was a clear light amber color, thin white cap of a head. Sly lace.
The aroma had some light grassy hop elements. Light lingering toast/biscuits. Sweet butter (not diacetyl).
The flavor leaned towards the malty side but with that British bitter edge to it. Sly biscuit malt aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV felt fine.
Overall, decent to me, and seemingly decent as an ESB.

Draught at the brewpub, 6.1% ABV
Dark amber color. Light aroma of caramel. Good body strength; quite good caramel flavor, correct bitterness.
Not complex, but fine ESB.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours ruddy amber with a creamy beige head. Floral aroma over a caramel backdrop. Med body. Nice mild roast caramel backbone with a lot of earthy/flroal hop. Died and gone to England.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. Has a malty nutty caramel aroma. Sweetish malty caramel flavor with some nutty hints and some hints of hops. Has a slightly sweetish malty caramel finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with lasting ring of off white foam. The aroma is light with mildly roasted maltiness and not much else. The taste has a sweet caramelized maltiness followed up by mild breadiness and some faint fruity esters. The taste becomes mildly hoppy with not so much bitter hops as a sense of sweeter pine hop flavor. I then get grainy and sweet malts breaking up the hops into the finish.

Draught Small but persistent lacey head; slightly hazy amber-olive beer. Bit creamy-lactic nose, little hops, tea jelly. Sweet, rounded nutty flavours. Touch of bread and licorice retronasal. Rather creamy, well bodied. Good, but just a little extra (UK) hops would push it to better balance.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear nut brown. Medium dry with gentle rounded mouthfeel. There’s some roasty malt and notes of butter. Salty, spicy bitter finish. A solid effort.

On Tap at DK Medium amber color, slightly hazy. Small but lasting head and lacing. Nice woody bitter malt flaver and hopped nicely. A bit thin and not as biter as I expected. Tasty though.

Dark amber; toasty earthy aroma w/ sweet peaches, raspberry; palate shows caramel, light peach, earthy hop, slight pine. A little yeast flourish like a true British ale lends authenticity.
