Bitch Creek ESB was first brewed in 2003, and perfectly balances big malt sweetness and robust hop flavor for a full-bodied mahogany ale. It has quickly become our best-selling beer, as well as our most-critically acclaimed, having won medals-including two golds— at four out of the past five Great American Beer Festivals.
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.
