This Strong Bitter from Evil Twin NYC presents a harmonious interplay between traditional English inspiration and modern refinement. A deep copper pour introduces a complex bouquet where earthy and floral hop notes mingle with a moderate caramel and bready malt backbone. On the palate, a smooth, fruity ester profile complements the toasted biscuit flavors, typical of quality British base malts. The balance is expertly struck; a firm yet integrated bitterness provides structure without overwhelming the rich, malty core. It finishes with a clean, medium-dry linger, making for a sophisticated and highly drinkable ale that honors the spirit of a classic ESB.
