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.

500ml bottle from Turtle Bay, Newcastle, with lunch before England vs Samoa Rugby League World Cup Opener at St James Park, Newcastle. Golden colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of apple, fruity. Taste is sweetish, juicy, apple, alittle orchardy funk and light tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, medium dry finish. Nicely drinkable.

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.
