Bitch Creek perfectly balances big malt sweetness and robust hop flavor for a full bodied, satisfying mahogany ale. Like the stream for which it is named, our Bitch Creek ESB is full of character... Not for the timid.

Copper color with tan head that lingers. Mild hop aroma. Taste is immediately a little bitter from hops then followed by a caramel sweetness. Slightly woody flavor and mild hop aftertaste.

From Nov 2005

Poured from the bottle a deep brown colour with a medium sized head that dissipated quickly leaving only a fine lacing around the edge of the glass.

The smell is a nice mix of hops and malt with a sweeting caramel smell that was probably the dominant note for me.

The taste is very well balanced and hits my taste buds just right. Sweet caramel tones in the malt with just a touch of bitterness with the hops. Good stuff!!

Pours auburn from the bottle. Tan, creamy head and sticky lacing. Nice. Aroma is apple, caramel, a bit floral. Taste is mildly bitter with strong roasted notes. Finishes the same but with mild notes of apple, green tea, nuts, and a light warmth. Body is medium. Nice!

12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown, almost black, with a big, beige head. The nose is burnt toast, licorice, and pine sap. A little sweet, with a harsh bitterness. Medium to heavy body, astringent, thick, and clingy. This is an acrid, overly roasted beer.

Bottle at home from dwyerpg, many thanks! Reddish brown with massive off white head. Aroma of toffee, hay and some light citrus. A little bit stale hay/grass/citrus taste with toffee, vegetables and some grain.

Pours a rich brown from a bottle. Aroma right of the bat is medium-roast coffee. Flavor is similar, somewhat watery, with good bitterness there as well. Okay beer.
