12oz bottle via 6pack, dammit should have gotten a single somewhere else, purchased at Spirits Crossroads. Poured a good looking thick orange body with a smller faomy light beige head. Aroma was not good. Notes of rotting vegetables, bad nutts, rye spicyness, bad dough, sweet floral aroma mixed in as well. Medium bodied with fuller carbonation and a creamy finish with an average duration on the finish. Flavor is a bit better than the aroma but still has this weird veggie, rye spice, floral notes combined with a touch of biscuit and toast. Blah didn’t like this one and almost drain poured it.

sample at schlafy tap room A very satisfying and pleasant ESB. The aroma is light and sweet with a touch of soft hops. The flavors start malty and have that touch of rye. There is a nice hop finish with a warming, lasting finish. Soft, smooth, splendid. Just outstanding
