Yeast and mild treacle nose. Ruby black, thin tan head. Charred oak, treacle, not very sweet. Light body, soft carbonation. Rather like a schwarzbier-bitter blend.

500 ml bottle into imperial pint glass, bottled on 11/4/2015. Pours crystal clear dark reddish brown color with a thin lace cap for a head, and light spotty lacing clinging on the glass. Good appearance. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, toasted dark bread, herbal, and pepper; with lighter notes of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toffee, nuttiness, fruit, and roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, earthy hops, and light fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of big caramel, brown sugar, toasted dark bread, herbal, and pepper; with lighter notes of chocolate, cocoa, coffee, toffee, nuttiness, fruit, and roast/toasted earthiness. Moderate herbal/spicy hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, toasted dark bread, chocolate, cocoa, coffee, herbal, pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, earthy hops, and light fruity yeast flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance; and a bit of lingering hop/roast astringency after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Light carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/sticky, and lightly chalky/resinous mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a nice Brown ale/ESB style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, earthy hops, and light fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, despite the rough bitterness on the finish. A nicely enjoyable offering.

16.9 ounce bottle. Pours a deep copper color with a small beige head and clinging lace. Rich earthy toasted malt nose. Flavor follows the nose, with hints of cocoa and caramel. Slightly spicy, fruity hops in finish. A decent English ESB with salutary promise.

Bottle from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours very dark copper with a slight beige/tan head. Aroma of mixed non-citrus fruits and maybe a bit of nut. Med body. Instant flavor resembles tea. With some roasty malt. Makes me think of Earl Grey. It has that astringency not uncommon in strong black tea. Pretty good, and rather interesting. It is not really dry, but it is decently bitter.
