An extra special bitter is an English style pale ale, trying to do the classic balancing act between malt sweet and hoppy bitterness. Here at COMDB we have quaffed a few ESB, and the genre in general has not been all that special in our eyes, or glasses. * The...
Sal and Dean lived life large on the road. Wyatt and Billy’s cross border chopper hop started and ended on the road, literally. Anthony (Man) and Pedro were rollin’ on down the road, high times on the highway. And Otter and Boon’s response to their frat house demise...
