Emerson's Brewery Extra Special Bitter
Extra-Strong Bitter 5.5 º
This Strong Bitter captures the soul of a London pub, opening with a distinctively rich toffee aroma that signals its classic British heritage. The sensory profile is defined by a harmonious balance between sweet, biscuity malt and a refined hop character. Despite its name, the bitterness is smooth and mellow, allowing deep toasted and nutty flavors to emerge alongside subtle earthy hop notes. At 5.5% ABV, it delivers a medium-bodied experience with a clean, dry finish, emphasizing drinkability and a sophisticated malt complexity that feels both special and timeless.
Appearance. Deep amber to copper in color with brilliant clarity. It supports a moderate, off-white head with good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high malt aroma with dominant notes of toffee, caramel, and toasted biscuit. Moderate earthy and floral hop character is present, supported by subtle fruity esters reminiscent of dried pear.
Taste. Initial bready and biscuity malt sweetness transitions into a layered nutty and toffee-like complexity. Medium bitterness provides a firm backbone but remains smooth, never sharp. Hop flavors are earthy and slightly resiny. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, mellow malt aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, rounded texture. Carbonation is moderate, and there is a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
