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 sainsburys. Mahogany coloured pour with a white head. Sweet malt aroma with a splash of caramel and fruit. Fruit and caramel flavour. Exceedingly ordinary run of the mill stuff.

Bottle from Waitrose. Clear amber body with a thin white head that quickly fades. Very light carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of toast, nuts and the merest hint of red fruits. Flavour of wood and brown bread. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. Bland and boring. It’s better on cask, but still dull.

Dunkelbraun, schön ins Rot gehend. Der Antrunk ist recht wässrig, kaum Aroma vorhanden. Der Hauptteil ist ganz leicht Ale-artig und deutlich wässrig. Der Nachgeschmack bleibt wässrig-neutral, kaum Aroma.
Sehr enttäuschend! 7/12/5/5

Bottle from Tesco. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a broken white head. The aroma is weak malt/hop. The flavour is medium bitter with a watery hop palate. Nice enough and very drinkable.

Bottle. Orange color with medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt. Taste, caramel malt, some fruits, light hoppy bitterness in finish. Too much on sweet side for me. Cask version is better.

Bitter sredniej klasy. Mala pianka, prawie zadna, ale moze to bylo celem. Kolor miedziany dosc ciemnawy. Aromat znikomy. W smaku chmielny posmak z lekka nuta toffi i karmelu. Finisz lekko wytrawny

perhaps this better as a cask ale. Oveall seems flat and unlively, flavor is OK but rather bland. Almost no head to speak of. Mouthfeel is slick with a little lingering bitterness. Just average.

Bottled 500ml. -Amber coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, hint of fruits in the nose. Moderate malty, caramel and slightly sweet fruity with pleasant spicy notes. Bitterish finish. Not bad.
