Bomber bottle sampled at Pre-DLD. Despite the abv strength of this one, shows some interesting ESB character. A nice hop load that doesn’t rely exclusively on the American gargle-blasters, balanced with some supportive malts. Don’t know the vintage of my sample, but all agreed this was over-aged. Some papery oxidation and phenol cuts into some interesting flavors.

This came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with red highlights and a large creamy dark tan head. The aroma was roasty, toasty and and lightly bitter with a floral hop note. The flavor was nutty, roasty, malty and had a hint of fruity hops and chocolate. The finish was long, nutty and malty. Nice.
