Pour is a dark brown with a small white head. Aroma is all malts and not much else. Flavor is a very nice earthy malt with a little bitterness toward the end. This was very true to the style and my favorite of the 4 i had at Flat Branch.

Deep gold with white thin head. Lacked much aroma, but had decent bitter flavor balanced by a malty sweetness. Well balanced but could use more intense aroma

It poured a reddish color. The aroma was slightly hoppy. The flavor was mostly mild hops and a little malt. Not a bad ESB.

Medium gold amber colored brew topped with a bright white head. The nose is dusty toffee with some bread crust. The taste is fairly sweet with some caramel. There is also pancakes and a weird green wood finish.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at the restaurant. Poured an amber color with a small white head that went rather quickly. Aroma was bread, floral and soap?, Flavor was sweet up front and bitter in the aftertaste. Decent but not their best.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sampled on draft at the brewpub - pours copper / amber with an off-white head. The aroma is quite malty with cream and brown ale nuttiness. Medium / full body for the style. It is a bit rich feeling along with light carbonation. The taste begins with semi-sweet malt, nuttiness, a bit of nectar fruits and english yeastiness. The finish has some earthy hops and caramel. Decent EBS - very English.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the pub, perhaps even hand-pumped from a cask? Regardless, arrived with a beautiful light beige head that left amazing sheets of lace and lasted for a solid ten minutes (just as long as the beer!) atop the dark brown/orange brew. Aroma was primarily heavy malt with a bit of bright citrus and spice. Flavor was exceedingly malty with just a bit of hop presence -- incredibly tasty, but not all that bitter for an ESB. Velvety texture and a good balance made this an extremely easy-drinker with a great palate presence.
