Old House ESB

Description

Townshend Brewery's Old House ESB is a captivating take on the traditional English Extra Special Bitter (ESB) style. This beer pours a deep amber color, topped with a persistent, creamy off-white head that adds to its alluring appearance. The aroma is a complex interplay of malty notes, with hints of toasted bread, caramel, and earthy hops. As the beer warms, subtle fruit and spice aromas emerge, adding depth and intrigue to the overall profile. On the palate, the Old House ESB is full-bodied and beautifully balanced. The caramel malt backbone provides a rich, toffee-like flavor that mingles seamlessly with a gentle bitterness from the hops. Hints of orange peel, nutmeg, and clove add an extra layer of complexity, making each sip a delightful experience. The finish is slightly dry, leaving a lingering impression that invites another taste.
