Bottle from lowcostbeer, 11 months in date. Maybe not a popular beverage at the restaurant chain, hence ending up here; who knows. Pours a dark brown, looks watery, thin head, minor retention. Roasty aroma, some dark chocolate and a faint tanginess. Body is indeed a little thin for 5%, there is a roastiness, and some chocolate, nice sweetness and a yeasty tanginess. Overall though its below average. I have now tried 4 beers from Hunters, 2 bitters and 2 stouts. The bitters are far superior which is slightly unusual. Normally with traditional breweries, the darker the beer the better in terms of quality I find.

Bottle at Turtle Bay, Guildford. Dark brown with a moderate fizz and a rapidly vanishing light tan head. A bit on the thin side. Sweetish up front with rather fake chocolate and black coffee. Light roasty note in the finish with a mild bitterness. So so.
