Pours a deep bronze, nearly burnt caramel color with a vigorous head of foam, leaving flecks of foam on the glass. Aroma is moderately roasted malt along with a nutty profile. Taste is moderate, bitter with caramel and roasted malt present. I suspect there is some nutty flavor present, though this may be my own imagination. Carbonation and ABV are low. This brew nails the ESB category.

Poured on-tap from cask into pint glass at the brewery.
A: Pours a clear coppery red hue with 1/2 inch light tan head.
S: Spicy malt and a hint of nuttiness.
T: Buttery caramel malt, spicy grains, and mild nuttiness.
M: Super smooth from the cask. Light body. Sweet with a bit of spice. Dry bitter finish.
D: A nice, but not outstanding session beer. Having this on cask really helps it out.
