On tap at Bonnie & Clydes in Lehighton Pa this lunchtime.
Slightly cloudy reddish amber body. Small head, which seems to be the choice of the bar staff at this establishment. Strong rich malty aroma. On tasting, choc full of malty goodness, however there is a light tang to it which could be age, end of the barrel, on maybe it's just brewed that way. Certainly drinkable though.

A bit on the sweet side for the style but not a bad beer.
Good to see a ESB around these days.
It has an odd flower note to it. Almost like rose water.
Even still I enjoyed it.

I tried this on tap at Molly Pitcher served chilled in a glass.
The color is dark medium amber with hazed apearance and fine bead with white head. The smell is fruity with a nutty and slight bready odor. The feel is creamy toasty and nutty with somewhat-sweet malt with mild bitterness and low alcohol in feel.
The taste is decent with good malt with bready mix of toasted malt dominance and light sweet caramel with slight English yeast with mild mineral with hint of raisin and light diacetyl in the finish. Overall this is a good take on the style, not great but very drinkable and could use a skosh of bitterness for my taste if pressed.
