Draught @ Barcade, Jersey City, New Jersey. Pours slight hazy brown with an offwhite head. Aroma of malt, little caramel, light grainy, light grassy hops. Flavor is light sweet, malt, grain, hint of caramel, grassy hops. Medium body, average carbonation. A tad boring, but not infected. 230418

22 ounce bottle. Hazy Amber orange color topped by a massive rocky beige head. Medicinal, caramel malt nose. Unusual, tart toasted malt flavor. A bit sour and funky. Not typical for the ESB style. Meh.

Draught @ Barcade. Faintly cloudy dark yellow with very small frothy off-white head, very faint hops aroma, low carbonation, initially sweet lightly bitter caramel/toasted malt taste with alcohol undertones, thin body, medium bitter toasted malt finish. It’s not like an IPA at all.

Hmmm... No rating in 3 years for this beer. Clear garnet body with virtually no head. Aroma is acetic, fruit & funk. The flavor has the acetic acid, some fruit but not much else. A shot of vinaigrette in a glass of wine mixed with water. Watery.

I’ve never heard of these folks but I don’t know a lot about jersey beer in general. Fine dark Amber proud small head. Nose caramel and fruit. Tastes fruity of Apple, grape, caramel, brown sugar. Touch sweet and oily slick palate.

The store formerly called Marketplace Wine & Spirits: pours clear light brown with nice beige head. So this is either infected or supposed to taste like a slightly sour, cherryish beer. Usually a beer that is clearly infected, I will not rate, but I al having a very similar experience with this beer as are a lot of the raters here. I chugged through this because I do not waste beer, but I did not enjoy it.

22 ounce bottle. Overly foamy, pours an opaque black color with a massive tan head. Roasted malt nose has notes of espresso, licorice and chocolate. So far so good. For an Imperial Stout, this is a bit tame. Soft silky palate has more chocolate and coffee notes, but lacks the complexity and flavor you’d expect of the style. Not bad, just not that good.

Seems like this is old and not very well maintained. Pours orange with OK head and lacing. This is either off or not well brewed. Bottle from total wine.
