"You asked for something extra special, one off, unique and never seen before...well you got it ! This is our extra special bitter...otherwise known as an ESB."
Obviously not a "one off"... I've had this one a few times at the Boise pub. Pours a clear chestnut... Nice enough white head with decent lacing.
Nose shows a fairly big hop profile for an ESB... obviously American, but I dig it and it still jives well with a good backbone of dry toast and light caramel maltiness.
Flavor again is definitely American... Big-Boned across the board... Grassy and herbal hops with a pronounced bitterness that is not traditional but still enjoyed... dark toasty and bready maltiness... hints of chocolate combine with some residual sugars.
Very drinkable despite the bigger ABV.
