12 oz bottle with a 22 January 2020 bottling date stamp on the label. Served in a lager glass where it displayed an appropriate dark reddish-brown body and a decent beige head.
Aroma. Not bad but oddly herbal and nutty.
Flavor. Bold, hoppy and bitter for style.
Overall: too bitter for style and too much earthy hops for my taste. Improved a bit with some warming.

on draft at beer study in chapel hill. teku glass.
pours a dark orange with an inch thick head. more hops than most esbs, though smell isn't intense. excellent taste. bready and sweet flavor, reality great. malts are the big thing here, but the hops are there too. medium bodied, mild carbonation.
very recommended for ESB fans. liked a lot.
