I finally started on the swap beers last night.
Manticle ESB
appearance - poured with good head, clear and lovely amber colour
aroma - overpowering malt, caramel and maybe it's just me but I thought I got a tiny hint of sourness
taste - malt driven, again I got a tiny hint of sourness. I'm not sure about the style guidlines for ESB (and have only had a couple of aussie commerial ESBs), but I expected more bitterness? For my personal taste, this was a bit sweet.
Warmbeer - American Porter
I didn't take and specific notes, because I simply thought it was DELICIOUS!!!
The only comment I have, is that with the prefix "american" I wasn't sure whether to expect some hop aroma/flavour (probably not from Brett ). Personally I was glad that it didn't have any, I really enjoyed it as it was. :icon_cheers:
ps - Adam was concerned with the historical accuracy of your label
