3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Bread and grass on the nose, with an almost a cherry wood appearance when held up to the light. Hops and malt vs. malt and hops. Almost perfectly balanced. Great beer...I’ll be savoring this one.

12 oz bottle from Wilbur’s. Brown with ruby hues and a sticky tan head. Earthy piney hops with caramel malts and bread/toast make up the aroma. Medium body with a crispy dry feel. Heavy bitter piney hop flavor with light toasty malts. Pretty solid ESB, though I’ve only had a few

Caramel, cereal, nuts, resin, and spruce aromas in moderation greet the nose. The brown ale aspect of this is a nice twist, as it deepens the color and adds depth to the aroma. The taste is a little too subtle for me, but pretty easy to drink for 6.5% ABV. There is something earthy to this that I cannot pinpoint. An enjoyable and unique ale, try it if you have a chance.
