500ml bottle from Morrisons. Pours clear amber, small white head, keeps some retention. Aroma of toasted malts, biscuit, earthy hop. Bitter and dry at the beginning but then semi-sweet, toasty, biscuit and nuts come to the fore. Moderate body and carbonation. Its a good example of an English bitter without the wow factor.

500ml bottle: BBE Sep 2021. The 'Salem Brew' has been dropped for the bottled version and it's 4.6% ABV and just called 'Dark Fruits Porter'. Obtained from my local Morrisons, drank at home on 1st Oct 2020. Black bodied, thin head. As the name suggests there is a dark fruit front to this interesting Porter, black/red berries mainly for me. I really enjoyed this, my first new beer from Batemans for some time and it's a very good addition to their portfolio.

Bottle. Amber pour, white -beige tinged head, good retention throughout. Aroma of roasted malts, citrus, dusty hops, chocolate. Taste is very sweet with almost a chocolate-orange note, toasted malts, spice and a decent bitter finish. Nice rich ale with a slight booze kick but maybe a little too sweet in terms of balance (and this is coming from a cider drinker).

Deep brown with a ruby tinge, and a frothy tan head. Has a dark berry fruit aroma, with some caramel sweetness also apparent, and this continues into the taste on top of a sweet roasted malt backbone, with a hint of nuts also present, and a very smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a touch of dry bitterness which continues into the aftertaste.

Deep amber with a small, frothy off-white head, and a sweet, malty aroma. The sweet malt carries through into the taste, along with some dark berry fruit, and there’s a hint of pepper spice in the finish. Very smooth mouthfeel, without any alcohol burn you might anticipate from its ABV
