Description: Our ESB is another beer crafted with Full Pint that is Estate grown and malted in Madras Oregon. This barley tends to have a lot of malt intensity that works well with this style of beer: a malt forward, mild bitterness and very smooth. This beer has been brewed multiple times with small tweaks in the water sources and elevage or aging side. The use of used chardonnay barrels seems to bring out more spice aromas while we have another that was aged in brand new french oak barrel (tight grain Allier M+ toast) that offers a layering of malt and barrel toast that seems to marry the flavors together nicely. The Golding hops seem to take a back seat on this beer aromatically although there is a nice bitter snap to the finish to what maybe thought of as a Strong Ale over an ESB in regards to style.
