Overall Impression: Amber color and kind of sweet caramel flavor. Not exactly what you expect from an ESB, but tasty, not particularly bitter.

A deep dark amber ale with a thin white head. A light caramel aroma with burned notes. In mouth, a nutty malt ale with a bit too much burned notes. Medium bodied. On tap at Willimantic Brewing Company and Main Street Cafe, Inbièrenationale IV, May 2007.

February 2009 Beer of the Month Club
Aroma: Sweet Yeast and roasted malts, sugary to the nose
Appearance: Nice looking dark reddish, brown beer, medium to thin chalky head.
Flavor: Sweet flavor, short nutty finish
Palate: Kinda syrupy, thick finish
Overall Impression: Not a bad beer, but offers very little to distinguish it from a standard Brown Ale. Don't get me wrong, its worth drinking and a fine effort.

This beer came in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a medium sized brown head. The aroma was bitter, roasty and had a sharp floral hop element. The flavor was bitter, roasty, smoky, and malty with a touch of wood underneath. The finish was long, roasty and smoky. Not really my style. Ok.

Big off-white head and has a reddish brown color. Very earthy malty aroma. There is a good amount of hops in this for an amber ale. Palate is pretty light and maybe has a little too much carbonation. Parts of the beer are kind of soapy. Plus I got this beer for 5 bucks a sixer. Maybe the bottle was quite old.

Had it on tap which is definetly the way to have this beer. Found it in bottles and WAY too carbonated, took forever for the head to settle. nice pale ale with a little bite, pretty clear for a pale ale, not hazy at all. pretty refreshing
