Real Ale never fails to impress and delight with pretty much every beer they put out on the market, be it their mainstays, seasonals, or more limited, experimental offerings. As part of the brewery's rotating bomber series, the Phoenixx Double ESB is a fantastic English Style Bitter, and a perfect way to end a day. I snagged this tasty guy at the grocery store yesterday for a post dinner libation, and it was wonderful. The 7.6% ABV brew pours a dark amber with a foamy, white head and smells of malt and toffee with a general earthiness abounding. The flavor is slightly sweet at first, the combo of toffee and caramel hitting the tongue before settling back and letting the hops finish it off with some spice and bitter notes. It's delicious. I may be going back to the store today.
