patrick767 (1377), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Apr 6, 2008 tap at the brewpub - Pours amber with a mildly citrus accented hop aroma. The caramel malt is joined by moderately bitter hops in this medium bodied, easily quaffed ESB that offers a lingering bitter finish. goldtwins (3672), Nesconset, New York, USA Nov 1, 2007 Tap @ Walnut: Poured a clear deep amber color with an off-white head. Caramel malt with a touch of coffee. The flavor was fruity with some sweet malt. Not really bitter but good taste. Maybe some chocolate on the finish. Light to medium body. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Oct 21, 2007 Date: 10/14/2007

BillKismet (1348), Seattle, Washington, USA Jun 25, 2007 Brassy with small head retention. Easy balance of hops and light chocolate malting in aroma and flavor. The cask conditioned version is creamier, and the hops come through better. hopdog (4371), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 11, 2006 On tap at the Walnut Brew Pub in Boulder, CO. Cask and regular pour side by side. They both poured a medium orange color with the cask version bing cloudy with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, lightly spicey and earthy. Tastes of citrus (stronger in the regular), caramel and spices (more apparent in the regular).
