RedWillow Brewery Extra Special Bitter
Extra-Strong Bitter 5.3 º
This Strong Bitter showcases the deep, bready complexity of Heritage Chevallier malt, grounding the experience in a rich, biscuit-forward profile with subtle nutty undertones. On the nose, a moderate intensity of earthy and floral hop notes emerges, balanced by a light caramel sweetness and a touch of orchard fruit esters. The palate follows suit, delivering a firm but integrated bitterness that cuts through the malty sweetness, leading to a medium-dry finish. It captures the essence of a classic pub pint, offering a harmonious blend of toasted grain and resinous English hops that lingers pleasantly with a clean, toasted aftertaste.
Appearance. Deep copper color with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate, off-white head that demonstrates good retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring a robust bready and biscuity malt character driven by the Heritage Chevallier malt. Accompanied by moderately low floral and earthy hop notes and a subtle hint of caramel. Low fruity esters reminiscent of dried pear are present.
Taste. Initial impression is a balance of bready, toasted malt and firm bitterness. The Heritage Chevallier malt provides a rich biscuity and slightly nutty flavor, supported by moderately low caramel. Hop flavors are earthy and floral, providing a classic English character. Medium-high bitterness is well-integrated, leading to a medium-dry, clean finish with a lingering toasted grain aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Provides a smooth texture with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth consistent with its strength. No significant astringency.

I miss the pub, I miss taking the dog for a walk and just popping in for a pint and a quick catch up .... This isn’t a pub, but it is a really nice ESB, brewed with Heritage Chevallier malt and a hint of nostalgia.
