DiarmaidBHK (3828) - Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 10, 2015
Can from Total Wine Norwalk. Pours brown with a khaki head. has some lacing in the glass. slight nose of malt. tastes kind of malty with a slight toffee note. Finishes clean. It’s a decent enough beer but ESB is definitely not of one of my favorite styles and this one hasn’t convinced me otherwise.

From the can dated 5/7/15. So it has been waiting to be popped open. Attractive brown pour under a modest tan head. Sweet toffee and caramel malt sensations abound with a low hop profile. Also some brown sugar. A better than light body. The taste is sugary sweet with a mild dry finish. To me ESB’s should not be as sweet as this but I found it to be likable all the same.

mansquito (4356) - Nueva York, New York, USA - AUG 7, 2015
At the bar: pours copper with a white head. Aroma is toffee, caramel, and bread. Taste is somewhat bitter. Toffee really dominant and lasts into the aftertaste. Not bad.

On tap at the Enfield CT Holiday Inn of all places. Slightly metallic, bitte, and thin tasting. No hints/overtones of any flavor, too malty. Would not drink again

Big can. Looks amber. Aroma of caramel malts, some floral and bitter hops, and dough/bread. Flavor the same. Average texture. Nothing stands out about this beer.

Quite a generic beer. Light caramel, grainy and malty, with a touch of grassy hop. Drinkable and not bad but really quite boring.

Draught at the brewery. Pours copper with an off white head. Smells earthy and semi sweet. Tastes dry and earthy with a floral note on the finish.

On draft at brewery, light and thin, toasty and lightly bitter, I like it, my dad would love it cause it doesn’t taste like anything or sucks

bellco33 (511) - Willington, Connecticut, USA - OCT 11, 2013
On tap at brewery: Clear amber with a thick, white head. Not a very strong aroma, but maybe a hint of caramel from the malts. Medium body with a decent malt taste, but with very little hop note. Finishes clean. Decent beer, very similar to Olde Burnside Ten Penny Ale.
