The Kessel ESB was my first beer at Canal Park. It was served in a imperial pint. The beer is a dark bronze with a beige head.
Fresh, light aroma of grains, caramel and slightly perfumey hops.
It is slightly sweet with a bit nutty taste. There are caramel malts and a touch of bitterness. Nicely balanced. Not sure it is exactly to style as it may be a bit amped up at 5.5% and 34 IBUs but it works for me.
The mouth is smooth with low carbonation.

Look rich caramel brown color
Smell sweet malty aroma
Taste sweet caramel flavor, strong dark malty notes, somewhat spicy
Feel smooth with balanced carbonation, a bit thin
Overall a solid interpretation of an ESB style
