A superb strong Bitter with a complex palate consisting of a delightful hop character balanced by prominent maltiness.

Cask @ JDW Elgin [060713]
Copper amber, dense white head, clear, good lacing
Aroma - soft caramel malts, slight soft berry fruits, touch of bread, smooth caramel
Taste or caramel malt, touch of roasted malt, bit mineraly, soft spicy hops, some red berries, getting that Bateman’s yeast, this is quite decent, better than than bottle
Pakate - Medium body, little oily, smooth caramel. Finish quite dry, quite bitter finish, soft fruity caramel, dab of yeast
Overall - This is one of the best Bateman’s I’ve had...better than the bottled version

Appearance: Clear brown amber color with a fine off white head that leaves a nice lacing.
Aroma: Malty, vanilla, fruity and mild hoppy.
Palate: Medium body. Slightly sweet and a fine bitterness. Average carbonation.
Taste: Fruity, malty and a fine hoppy background.
Overall impression: I really enjoy British premium bitter from bottles. A higher carbonation lifts the beer up a bit.
Personal stats: Bottle from Spar at Stansted Airport in Essex, England.

Bottle, 11C. Clear copper with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel, biscuit, orange blossoms, pepper. Taste has sweet caramel, mellow apples, quite firm peppery bitterness. A bit dull underneath the fizziness, but it’s strong enough not to matter too much.

Aug 2006 (from BA): One of my all time favourite beers. I have been drinking this beer for many years and when ever I see it on draught, I have some. Morrison’s and sometimes Aldi (in the UK) stock it in bottles, but it does not hold a candle to the cask conditioned draught. This review is from my last tasting, at the 30th Cotswold CAMRA Beer Fest, straight from the barrel which was inside a 15th Century Tithe Barn. The location of this fest is just great, you can’t help but enjoy the scene and beers on offer. Dark Amber, copper coloured, with a fine white head which stays for a long time within the glass, it looks the part. Fruity, both in aroma and taste, the brewer got everything right in my opinion, and they haven’t messed around with the brew since it was first introduced (whenever that was?). This is a classic British beer, and long my it be so.
