Light brown pour with a long lasting tan head. Aroma is bisquit malt and some honey. Body is what I would expect from 7.8 percent. Nicely carbonated. More bisquit, toffee and toasted malts. Hops are evident towards the finish but this is a nice, woodsy, earthy ESB. I like it!

Oct 5, 2008 12oz in Liefmans glass. Pours rich brown with medium, lasting tan head. Soft malt and alcohol nose. Flavor is similar with some piney bitterness on top. Smooth, but not what I’m looking for in an ESB.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Dark copper, clear. Stinky and sweet caramel malt and sharp orange hop aroma. Full, chewy, creamy, oily body, very rich and viscous on the palate. Rich and syrupy, semi-sweet maple malt, with a sweet, chewy orange and honey hop character. Surprisingly good stuff.

Sep 23, 2008 12 oz bottle-pours an off white ring for a head and copper color. Aroma is coppery/pine hops, secondary medium malt-caramel. Taste is coppery/pine hops (English) , secondary medium malt-caramel/peat. Dry finish. OK carbonation.

Sep 16, 2008 Pours a reddish color with a nice medium sized puffy tope colored head. Nose is brown sugar, nuts, cellar dust, and a bit of alcohol. Taste is like caramel and syrup with a floral acidic bite than comes across somewhat medicinal and alcoholic on the finish. A fine beer but at 7.8% the burn is very apparent.

Sep 14, 2008 Another underated beer from the 471 series. Pours with a smallish, elegant, light brown head that leaves decent lacing and has good retention. Body is a hazy mahogany hue. Aroma of dark dried fruits, malts, brown sugar, nuts, mellow british hops, and some molasses. Taste is brown sugar and molasses (but not in a very sweet way), dried fruits and a noticable alcohol appearance in the flavor. A bit too fizzy for my taste with water like mouthfeel. Good beer.
