Jun 15, 2008 Bottle from Total Wine Broad St. Richmond, VA. Brownish red with a small head. Very malty aroma w/ brown sugar, molasses. Smooth, malty taste with molasses and very subtle bitterness. Taste is a little disappointing considering the aroma, but still pleasant.

Jun 13, 2008 Smells and looks good, and the flavor is a reasonable facsimile of Fuller’s ESB. There’s something missing, however. It lacks the depth and balance of Fuller’s. It also lacks a little sweetness, caramel or toffee or butterscotch, that would really round out the brew. Still, it’s a pretty good beer.

Jun 12, 2008 Nice ruby color. Chewy chocolate fig malts, with nice deep sugared fruit aromas. Rounded flavors, musty marzen-like with lightly spiced vanilla. Bitterness is there for balance but not what I think of for the style. Not what i was expecting for some reason but not bad.

Jun 3, 2008 nice brownish amber with solid white head. flavor o some crystal malt but not prominent enough to balance the hop bitterness. a version of the style that fits the specifications, however not above an average example

May 30, 2008 12 oz bottle...pours a reddish brown w/ a foamy off-white head which leaves some frothy lacing behind...Very weak nose...floral hops, malt. The flavors are a combo of malts, toffee, toasted nuts, and bitter hops. The palate is somewhat runny/watery, w/ mild carbonation and a lasting bitter finish. I like this ESB because it is equally good for summer as well as winter drinking...

May 19, 2008 Aroma is weak with notes of malt and hops. Clear medium amber hue with an off-white head. Flavor is ok but below average, hops caramel, ok but no vision. Watery and lively. Below average for an ESB.

May 11, 2008 Deep copper body with a light khaki head. The aroma is lightly malty with some toffee. There is also some old library book character. The taste has some light toffee and iced tea. There is also some raisin that comes out after drinking. A nice ESB.
