Draft with a meal. Ripe, sweet, dark fruit. Thick and heavy palate. Good beer to drink with food.

On tap at Bill’s Beer Garden. Pours a near clear burnt orange with an egg shell white head that dissipates completely. Aroma has a good amount of burnt candied sugar with some light fruits and a bit of earthy sweet grains. Flavor has a combination of light fruit, banana and candied sugar with a backbone of earthy sweet grains.

This brew is a hazy reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, caramel and slight hops. Light body with flavors of caramel malt, earthy hops and a bit of overripe fruit. The finish is short and malty. Just average overall.

Fantome glass, cellar temp. Should’ve known about the yeast at the bottom..oops poured it all in. Now a bright orange murky appearance no head. Times of raw bread, some peaches and oak. Taste is very much to style...dark fruit, bread, citrus, peaches, figs, some honey and melon. Low carbonation, metallic penny like finish.

Thanks Mike! Enjoyed in a wine glass
A - Pours nearly black. 1 finger head fades fast
S - Very sweet nose, burnt sugar, cane syrup and a hint of peaches.
T - Very english ESB taste. Some grape and kiwi taste. very weird and unexpected.
M - medium body and carbonation
O - It’s not a bad beer but just a bit too sweet and juicy for a scotch ale

Pours murky like beery milk. Aromas of strong bubblegum - bazooka. Good texture on throat here.I think some may shy away from this based on colour - finings for general population? In any case, it’s a good beer for me. Tap at Hopcat.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Loud crack upon opening yields insanely high carbonation into the glass, this took a while to pour. Pours hazy dark reddish copper color with a huge 2 finger fluffy off white head with insane retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Spotty foamy lacing clings to the glass, with a ton of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, raisin, toffee, toast, bread, floral, and herbal hops. Pretty nice aromas with solid strength and balance. Taste of caramel, toast, toffee, raisin, bread, light pine, floral, herbal, and earthy spiciness. Decent amount of earthy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, toast, raisin, toffee, bread, light pine, and earthy spiciness on the finish for a short bit. Solid balance of flavors and fairly robust feeling for 4.8%; zero cloying flavors on the finish. Quite dry on the finish as expected from the high carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a lightly creamy and very crisp mouthfeel that is ok. I swirled a lot of the carbonation out of this one on purpose. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a solid ESB. This was probably infected, but the taste didn’t seem to be affected that badly. In the end it was pretty tasty, I had no problems finishing the glass.

Bottle thanks to mikem409: This bottle was very angry at me, first the cork was stuck and after several attempts to remove I had to dig it out with a knife. In the mean time the carbonation had sprung into action. Poured a murky coppery brown with a huge lacing head. Aroma is strong fruit with some malts and metallic. Very hot forward alcohol with boozy sticky fruit with loads of caramel malt.

A dark copper amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a smooth herbal malt with grassy hops, light veggie notes. In mouth, a sweet herbal caramel malt with light grassy hops, not bad. Bottle at Mondial 2012, June 10 2012.
