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.

Bottle from Tesco; clear dark amber pour with a thin off white head, aroma has wet grass and stewed fruit, taste doesn’t have much really quite insipid, a hint of lemon, sweet malt and tasteless plums, I’m sure this is equally as bad on cask.

Bottle purchased and consumed in Serbia. Pours Amber clear, little ivory head. Nose: a bit of roasted malts, resin far away, thin. Mouth: watery, roasted notes, elegant bitter closure. Not terrific! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle at Noels House whilst watching the cheating fucking Kiwis scrape a 20-15 win over England B, 07/06/14. Clear golden amber with a well appointed eggshell white/off white head - a good looker. Nose is mellow fruit, toffee, nutty pangs, vanilla. Taste comprises much the same, biscuit, caramel, dark fruit rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a bitter linger. A decent well constructed bottled bitter - trumps a lot of the cask micro twig that you come across in many bars!

Appearance- amber, slightly ruby, very clear, a small fizzy white head which diminishes quickly. Aroma- hops, raisin, fruity notes, yeast and bread. Taste- medium mouthfeel, dark fruits and raisin, some caramel and toffee sweetness, nutty with hints of almond. A bit of carbonation. Nicely balanced.

500ml bottle as part of a selection pack from the brewery online shop. Clear amber, short-lived white head. Aromas are light red fruit, sweetness. Taste is sweet too. Something bready going on. Didn’t want to hate this, and I don’t really, it’s just not very good.
