Thanks to Sledge Jr for this Nebraska brew. This pours with a minimal creamy off white head that dissipates rapidly, over a dark amber body. Some light malt aroma. The slight bitterness that a good ESB should have, is replaced by an off putting sourness that also hurts the dryness in the finish. A bit thin as well. The wide variation in scores for this may suggest some inconsistencies with the brew..

Clear, dark brown w/ red accents. Aroma is of bark, hinting at bread crust, pecans and tobacco. Fairly full body, enhanced by the low carbonation and touch of oiliness. Malty front with light nuttiness leads to more iron-tasting middle. Finishes with earthy, toasty notes and an increase in hop dryness. Straightforward flavours very similar to the aroma. Thanks Shorlin!
