Poured from tap at Guinness Open Gate in Baltimore; assumed fresh. Beautiful tan - to - brown appearance with two fingers of foamy head; great lacing. Smooth caramel notes with great feel. A bit boozy tasting for the style but a solid offering.

On Nitro draught, at the brewery. A light amber pour with a mesmerizing cascading foam, head forming display.
A head with high retention, that lasts all the way to the bottom, with abundant lacing.
Toasted caramelized barley malt. A pleasant mild bitterness that permeates all aspects of the flavor, and finish. And a nice creamy mouthfeel.
An excellent ESB!
