Tap at AH. A little disappointing, not up to their standards. Faint smoke, sort of sterile off malt tones. Drinkable, but not at all on the same level as Good Night Bamberg.

Delicate, awesome stuff. Soapy, flowery, big hop tone. Crackery malts. Good.

Tap. Resinous, a pinch of that dry hopped earthy vegetal. Chewy but clean. Really good stuff. Deep classic hop character

Tap at Art History. Robust, deep Porter. Really captures the Porter tone excellently, the cherrywood smoke adds some nice depth without being overbearing. Smooth rich UK malts. Best Porter I have had in some time.

Sample at Art History. Nice malt depth, honey touched. Pleasant hop balance. Well balanced, well executed.

Cask at Art History. Really nice glowing copper gold body. Creamy beige head. Previous rater nailed it, a slightly figgy tone. Certainly has a unique flavor, crackery, toffee edged, little bit of a fig pie. Great mouthfeel, appearance, but a little odd flavor, aroma. 16oz can was quite nice, great mouthfeel. Big, clean English malt tone. Perfect mild but zesty hop balance. Quite excellent, a World Class ESB is a rare treat in the US. Can score represented...cask scored lower in the aroma and overall.

On tap at Centennial Crafted, pours a hazy small blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops, citrus zest, and biscuity malt. Flavour is citrusy and piney, with a nice citrusy hop character, earthiness and biscuity malt. A bit gritty but otherwise OK.

Looks awesome. Deep brown burgundy body with a big beige head. Meaty, rich, quite Schlenkerla like. Wow. Tastes closer to Bamberg than any US beer I've ever had. World Class, amazing example of the style. Downright meaty.
