A rich aroma of hops and malt develops a full texture in the mouth. It has a long, deep, bitter-sweet finish. Without doubt an exceptional best bitter.
Ingredients: Maris Otter pale malt. Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops.

Bottle from Connollys Wines, Solihull. Poured a ruby red colour with a thin tan head. The aroma is of toffee and caramel. The flavour is bitter rich and zesty with smooth caramel notes. The flavour was quite unexpected. I’m looking forward to more beers from Bath Ales.

500ml bottle, 4.7% abv., kindly shared by Finn. Very nice golden-brown body with a beige head with some duration. Roasted nutty malts to the nose. Flavoured with mid-sweet roasted malts and vanilla pods offset by resinous hops. Spiced bitter ending. Pleasing (session at Finns in Tromsø, 05.06.2012).

Dark amber beer. Light semi crisp palate. Pretty well balanced. Even malt base- orangey fruit hops that are not too bitter at all. Unsweet caramel in the finish. Decent.

Jan 2007: I think Bath Ales produce fantastic beers, so when I came across this 500ml brown bottle, locally, I had to get it. I wasn’t dissappointed. Looked fine in a Gordon’s thistle glass, amber, with a good head. I was not expecting the bannana, vanilla, sweet caramel aroma. You do not get it with the cask version. No taste of the above aroma, thank God, although it is fairly sweet for a Brit bitter. Mouthfeel is fine, the flavour stays and a bitterness does arrive, but you have to wait for it. I prefer the cask, but this is still a good beer.
