Small Batch Series Extra ESB
Breckenridge Brewery & The Farm House

 

 

12 oz. Bottle

Pours a nice brownish color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which leaves some nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, bitter. The taste is malty, bitter. Medium body. Overall, a nice tasty brew.

 

 

I liked this interesting beer for the first time having the style. Smooth mildly sweet malt with notes of caramel and toast and a little dark fruit with floral hop.

Pours a hazy brown with red and orange highlights. Aroma is faint but has caramel, earthy, and some fruity/floral quality. Taste is more prominent with caramel, biscuit, toffee, earth, and some floral hops reminiscent of traditional english hop varieties and English malts. Mouthfeel is thin to medium and a bit thinner than some esb. Overall, not a bad esb and a good effort on one from an American brewery.

 

 

Not sure when it was bottled but it smells rather good sweet and malty. Bitterness is quite good and its rather sweet with mild tea flavors. Good double ESB

Malty, floral aroma. Very floral.

Flavor is floral as well, but becomes perfumey and fairly bitter at the finish. The toasted malt is a nice backbone, but the bitterness overwhelms my palate.
