Formerly known as Barnstormer.

Rich in fruit with hints of chocolate, we’ve made Barnsey a full-bodied dark ale that is both complex and deeply satisfying.

Barnsey is a truly rewarding and enjoyable beer, carefully brewed using a mix of Maris Otter, Chocolate and Crystal malts together with Bramling Cross hops. Barnsey contains wheat and barley malt.

Bottle 0,5ltr:Dark brown coloured Bitter, with an good taste of citrus and nuts, very thirstquenching. But i thought ESB-ales are higher in alcohol?

Bottle had on a night out in Bath at one of the Bath Ales pubs as Bath Ales Barnstormer (which was a much better name imo). Poured dark amber with an off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, light fruit, and toasted notes. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness and body. Bit above average carbonation but ok. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Barnstormer on 23 Jul 2009 at 23:00 - Score: 6.5. Original review text: 24/7/2009. Cask at the Green Dragon Ale Festival, Croydon.

Tap at Bath Ales. Filtered ruby red brown body. Thin, syrupy chocolate tones don’t really merge well with the rest of the ale. Kind of awkward. Nutty, but not much depth. Sort of a buttery sweet finish.
