XX Bitch Creek Double ESB is all that and more. We took the Bitch Creek recipe and doubled everything: double the malt, double the hops, twice the flavor.

1Liter bottle-pours a rich frothy tan head that laces and cloudy brown/orangy color. Aroma is great northwest resin/citrus hops, background medium malt. Taste is great northwest resin/citrus-tangerine hops, earthy, secondary medium/dark malt-roasty/slightly burnt/chocolate. An enjoyable cross of American and English, a little thin on finish.

1liter bottle from BevMo in Natomas. Very dark ruby color with a vigorous light tan head. Aromas of roast malt and floral hop. Roughly medium in body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is a bit gritty, and highly chocolate. Hop is more floral than anything. Not really dry, and the bitter might be more from the malt than the hop. I doubt England has ever seen a chocolate ESB, but who knows. Well worth trying.

Bottle. Rich toffee colored beer with a big light tan head. Rich malt, toffee, and light earth aroma. Big caramel flavor with cocoa, light citrus, and grass. Medium-plus bodied. Light sweetness lingers with caramel, cocoa, citrus, and earth.
