12oz bottle. Small beige head atop clear copper body. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange, caramel/toast, some earthy. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, orange/earthy, some toast, grapefruit, alcohol warming, light prune. Sticky medium-full body. With the alcohol evident, I’d consider this an ESA rather than an ESB -- I certainly like it better from that perspective.

Bottle from Archer Liquor. Pours a hazy amber with a miniscule head. Aroma is vinous, suggesting cooked light stone fruit. Full bodied with light, creamy carbonation. Flavor is cooked caramel, cooked peach and nectarine pit. Beyond that it’s dirty/earthy and a little citrusy. Finishes strongly and astringently stone fruity. Bitter? Yea, but it’s it’s a fruit pit/skin kind of bitter. So it drinks really, really great. It does.
