The best beer (perhaps other than the DK IPA) offered at the ’05 April Brew’s Day in Bellingham. Very musky aroma - smoked oak, aged cheese quality, bourbon, some darker hops and pine. Some grassiness, but not freshly cut grass, rather like grass that has been sitting in the yard a while, surprisingly this is a good quality giving the beer a chewy musky character (Martha Stewart: "it’s a good thing"). The flavor is more crisp - more hops, but maintains the dark quality from the aroma, preceding a floral finish. This is a great ESB, but could use a bit of rounding-out and aging. This almost seems like a Dunkel to me.

On tap at Washington Summer Festival 04.Light brown,lasting beige head.Great complex malt nose. Good carmel malt start with medium hop finish
