Pour is a clear chestnut with a small white head. Aroma is pretty much all earl grey tea. I happen to love a nice cuppa of strong earl grey so this I right up my alley. Flavor is more of sweet malt with some raison notes and then comes the bergamot from the earl grey. Finish has some black tea bitterness. Quite flavorful but then again one of these in a evening would be enough as the tea is quite strong and this is coming from someone who loves a nice black tea

12oz can. Earl Grey tea in an ESB. This has got to be the low point in the Unchained series. Chalky factory ESB. Maybe it had some different character super-fresh, but this is stale and bland. Bland, uninspired, really weak stuff. Drinkable, not unlike a really boring Winter Warmer, Meh.

Can. Pours a clear deep golden orange with a near white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of earl gray with a bit of sweet grains, a bit of bread and a touch of grass. Flavor has a nice balance of tea, sweet grains and grass with a slight bitterness in the finish.

GABF 2015. Well hopped, especially in the aroma. It reminded me of Boston lager. Heavily hopped for a bitter, some malt body for balance. Very drinkable.

12 oz. can, pours a dark amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out herbal earl grey tea. Flavour is quite herbal, with earl grey tea, and lightly sweet cereal notes. Pretty subdued but nice and clean. Quite decent.

12oz can shared by Chris. I don’t think I would have guessed there was tea in this. I really like the tea character but the beer underneath it is a bit flabby. I don’t know how to describe it but I like it.
