3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: JUN 19, 2012
Location: Draft at Little Rock Brewpub, 6/18/12
Aroma: The nose is rich and malty, with caramel, earth, toffee, and dough
Appearance: It pours a dark orange-brown with a small beige head and medium lace
Flavor: Tastes similar to the nose, with the malts being predominant, but the earthy hops balancing
Palate: The body is medium, and it has a pretty good mouthfeel, with a smoothish finish to it
Overall Impression:
I thought this was a very nice, and highly drinkable ESB. The aroma was just a hint above the taste for me. The pour and feel were both fairly impressive. I found this to be well-made and quite thirst quenching. Good stuff from Vinos.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Ancient backlog. Aroma of not much, sugary caramel and some cookie. Flavor very sweet with toffee, nougat, earth, a hint of citrus barely peeks out. Musty and dirty feeling. Not strong.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(draught) Slightly hazy medium amber with very little head but still some lace. Light aroma of toffee and grassy hops. Flavor is biscuit/caramel malt, some toffee, with a nice grassy hops finish. This would make a spectacular cask ale.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Appearance was light brown. Nice, pleasing hoppy aroma, from what I could tell. Some malt in the beginning that is overtaken before long by the bitter finish. Overall, not bad.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
A great microbrew from Vino’s Brewpub. Nice bitter beginning with a nice strong hopsy finish. I think that you can only get this beer on tap at the resturaunt. If you’re ever in Little Rock, Arkansas, pay these folks a visit.
