At the mouth of the Camel Estuary in Rock, lies the treacherous Doom Bar sandbank, the inspiration for this moreish amber ale.
The sandbank is revered as a formidable nautical challenge that should be approached with respect and navigated with skill.

Amber pour with a small white/cream pour. Aromas of malt, grain, some cocoa/coffee - taste is similar. Alright overall

Half pint at Rummer Tavern, Cardiff. A copperish to amber pour with a greenish cast. Slightly cloudy. Thin layer of an off-white cream. Aroma is coffee, funky towel, earth. Carbonation isn't there at all. Medium crisp, which renders it rather bland. Good bitterness, though. Abrupt aftertaste with new hints of coffee. Nothing out of this world.
