Word from the brewmaster at the brewpub is that this recipe is the one now used for ESB. So: Cask at the brewpub at the brewery. Clean caramel aroma. Clear dark amber color. Off-white head that sticks around. Soft, luscious, fruity, malty with floral/fruity hop. The bitter balancing the malt does not seem to be pine or citrus. Fresh floral/fruity finish, hints of malt here at the end, mild bitter, and some possible citrus sour at the back of the mouth. Fantantastic.

Golden/orange colored pour with a nice little whitish head. Aroma was light and hoppy, taste is a blend of malts, light hops, and some citrus tones. Flavor wasn’t medium at all, but rather mild. More hops please!

On tap at BridgePort, sampled 4 August 2004. This was originally served to me in a tulip glass as their cask-conditioned barleywine, but the furious movements of my pen led to the realization I was actually rating Pintail Ale. Clear copper body with a thin off-white head. Musty, earthy fruit aroma with light caramel and toast. Caramely flavor with light fruit notes, toast, and some bittering hops. Boring but not terrible.

Bottle Pours a nice copper/amber with a decent head that lingers for a bit leaving some stubborn lacing. Lightly roasted rain and hops are the aromas. Bread and hops are the first flavors but then a darker smokey flavor comes through. Otherwise plain and straightforward. Finsih is clean, light and a slight bitterness that I expect.

Bottle. Amber colored. This beer just takes up space on the shelf. There's nothing to draw you to it and definately nothing to make you want more. It's boring.
