Location: Draft at Local Foods, 1/26/14
Aroma: The nose has some sweet malts, bread, booze, and some hops
Appearance: It pours a caramel-red color with a beige head
Flavor: The taste is malty, a little sweet, plenty of booze, and a light bitterness
Palate: The body is medium-full, kind of sticky, with a little heat as well
Overall Impression: I thought this was a decent one, but it was also kind of muddled. Not bad, but also not a favorite for me.

22oz waxed bottle poured. Pours a dark thick reddish amber. Low clarity. Aroma is sweeter and boozier but still has a leafy earthy soil Scottish aroma. Flavor is less sweet and less boozy which is better. Goes great with a slightly thicker mouthful. A nice long soil and bitter brown malts aftertaste.

Aroma: The nose is caramel and bready malts with some fruity notes and a little earth
Appearance: This one pours a copper-orange color with a small foam of head
Flavor: Balanced, similar to the nose component-wise light-mid sweet and light bitter
Palate: The body is light-medium, drinkable and clean enough, with average-plus carbonation
Overall Impression: This is a drinkable enough ESB. I can see why this works well at non-craftcentric restaurants like this one, as it is a good entry micro, and I mean that as a compliment.
