Oct 28, 2008 Bottle shared by robert. Light brown in color, small head. Decent aroma of spices. It had a sweet bitter taste that I thought was very good/balanced. The texture was creamy but smooth. Nice clean taste, good beer.

Oct 25, 2008 Updated: Jan 23, 2009Aroma of malt and spices. Body is thick and smooth. Nice presence of hops-earthy like they say. Very malty, sweet. Notes of spices. Fuller and sweeter than an ESB. Well balanced, finish is clean, not watery. Almost reminds me of a amber ale, with more body and hops. A very good beer overall. Drinkable.

Sep 15, 2008 Bottled. Not really sure what an Imperial ESB is but I liked it. Both aroma and flavour very well balanced between caramel malts and pleasant, citrus hops. Easy drinking and enjoyable. honestly better than expected.

Jul 17, 2008 Pours ruby/amber with a creamy head.
Aroma is matly/caramel, lightly hoppy and earthly.
Taste is slightly roasted, and a good presence of nutty and caramel malt. Maybe some licorice, reminding me of a sweet sugary cough syrup.
Light yeast, hops giving an enjoyable tingly mouthfeel.

Jun 25, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized mostly lasting yellow white colored bubbles that left behind a transparent light brown colored softly carbonated body and a fair lacing. The aroma contained malt hop mild brown malt notes. The crisp mouth feel was strongly tingly from the hops. The flavor contained strong hops under a malt backing.

Jun 18, 2008 4/25/08 notes: poured from bottle. Pours with a burnt-orange color and a greenish tan head. Aroma is of hops, grass, malts and fruit. Robust and delicious. Prominent malty flavor with some citrus notes and hops to balance. Sticky mouthfeel with a semi-sweet, well balanced finish. As the style ASA suggests, this beer lacks firm membership to a specific style, which I felt hurts my rating of it, however, perhaps a good comparison beer is Souther Tier’s IPA, just maltier.
