(Draught) Poured deep red wine colour with medium sized and white head. Aroma was of malts and molasses. Medium bodied palate with medium carbonation. Tasted of malts, hops, lightly molassa and bitterness. Finished malty and bitter. Quite simple and bit boring ESB.

Pours a dark amber/ruby red color with golden amber orange hues when held to a light source and a three finger froth, pillowy yellowish off-white head. Excellent retention, only very slowly fading to a lasting cap that leaves chunky rings of soapy lacing. Sweet caramel malt aroma with subtle earthy and rosted notes, biscuit, hazelnut and floral hops. Pretty hop forward with earthy floral bitter hops that are decently balanced by the morris otter malt backbone. Hints of caramel, biscuit, rye, hazelnut and toast. There is a nice sweetness in the malt that counters the bitterness up front pretty well. Dry earthy hop finish. decent session beer.

On tap at GABF 2009. A very nice ESB from Stoudts. Great appearance: clear reddish-copper color with a large, lasting white head. Aroma is caramel, roast, nuts, and citrus. Flavor is caramel and Maris Otter malt, orange/citrus, nuts, and floral hop bitterness on the finish. Palate is smooth with medium body and soft carbonation. Overall very solid.

A very good bitter. Spicy flavor of malt, nutmeg, and orange peel on a silky mouthfeel. I would definitely buy this again.

Bottle and Draft, which i preferred. Pours a copper amber body with an off white head. Malty bittersweet body, caramel with light spices and a floral bitter hoppy body. Nutty with a light citrus note and a bitter finish. Nice.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper color with with red highlights and a thick off white head that leaves lacing throughout. The smell is mainly toasted caramel malts. Has a sweet malty taste with a very bitter hop finish. Fairly light body with lots of soft carbonation. An ok ESB.

Situation: a night off from the to-do list... Glassware: Ommegang Rare Vos... Appearance: slightly opaque, dark chestnut red body with a thick, attractive nestling of bubbly off-white head....nice, yet inconsistent lacing on glass as it drains.... Aroma: soft, understated malts with only a late hop fragrance--hints at easy drinking to come... Palate: solid, slightly oily body that is rather smooth to the throat; malts steady the tongue nicely... Taste: smooth, dry taste reminiscent of a bock in its malty strength; lingering aftertaste holds slightly nutty notes... Overall: pleasant but not overstated in any facet of flavor--a nice case filler or case by itself... though smoother, nuttier, more buttery ESBs can be found, this pleases the tastebuds just fine...

[from a 12 oz bottle] Small head on this one. Aroma malty, not much yeast surprisingly. It’s incredibly smooth but aside from caramel I don’t get a ton from this beer. It drinks incredibly easily - a standout example of a perfect session beer. To summarize: accolades for smoothness, not complexity.
