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.

Old rating - A beer I've tried on a number of occasions both in bottle & from the cask. On this occasion it was from a warm bottle on the We Ferry cruising around Torbay harbour, with fresh fish & chips. Very enjoyable occasion, beer was passable, mostly toasted malt & caramel.

Bottle at an airport hotel bar. Pours a clear, amber color, with a fair, foamy, beige head. The nose is caramel, chalk, juniper berries, and sawdust. Sweet and malty, with a slick, poor bitterness. Light, sharp, and sticky. Weak and mediocre.

Bottle. Clear amber with a small white head. Aroma of nuts, malts and caramel. Taste of malts, dried fruits, caramel, hints of citrus fruits, toffee, nuts and some herbs. Low to moderate bitterness. Low carbonation. It’s alright but pales drastically in terms of personal enjoyment compared to the cask version.
